        He was "a successful truck farmer" (although exactly how one is successful at farming trucks I don't know) in Farmer, Ohio.3

[S186] Daughters of the American Revolution, Elene Ensign Sprong, I believe the letter and application were written sometime after 1935., I had previously noted "Defiance County" as the location of the wedding, but the invitation clearly says "Pulaski, Ohio", which is in Williams County..

        6. [S380] Martha Eunice Ensign Nelson, Descendants of James Ensign (pub. 1977), p. 347, entry 1102 for Gideon Deming Ensign9; the first two children were born in Defiance County, but the last six were born in Williams County, so both places seem equally likely for the marriage. I should check the county lines to see if Pulaski was actually in Defiance County at the time of their marriage..
        7. [S186] Daughters of the American Revolution, Elene Ensign Sprong, I believe the letter and application were written sometime after 1935., she guessed her father died about 1935 (actual date 6 Jan 1936).
