Note: Original information was birthdate of 19 jun 1886 in Council Grove, KS. No sources.
Birth of a half-sister
Birth of a half-sister
Note: Lucrecia's pension certificate (which Kevin McIntosh copied at the Kreiss family reunion in Brooklyn, IA in June, 2016) spells their young daughter's name as Georgie A. Kriss.  The pension for her terminated when she turned 16, which according to the pension certificate, was 14 Jan 1908.  Her application for a delayed birth certificate shows a birth date of 15 Jan 1892.  That's consistent.  Your family history shows it as 16 Jan 1892.  For some reason, my information was that she was born on 16 Feb 1892. 
Death of a half-brother
Note: Died of complications of appendicitis. Original death information was 19 Aug 1909 in Council Grove, KS. No sources for that information.
