In her mother's 1906 death notice, she was described as being of Peru, In.
From a letter in my dad's possession dated June 27, 1932, written on the same sheet of paper as one from Kate Leebrick:
Dear Uncle Frank,
We would like to hear from you once in a while. We wonder if you stay home all the time.
If we can get to the church we are expecting to hear some interesting things during Conference. Bishop Baker used to be a college president and people say he had such a great influence in getting young men to take life in earnest and do their part in the world. Afterward, Bishop Baker was sent as a missionary Bishop to India and Korea. I know he said it pays to help them to know the way of life.
I think I have never seen Charles or his wife or children. I know I would like them. Aunt Kate wants to know if you saw to ti that the children get to Sunday School. Love to you all.
Lizzie E Harnon.

"Rev. F.L. Erlougher, pastor of the M.E. Church, was married at eight o'clock p.m., yesterday, to Miss Susie M. Trees, daughter of Mr. J.S. Trees, of Center, Howard county, Indiana. The bride is a most estimable young lady, and will fill the place in the church as "pastor's wife" with fidelity and earnestness of purpose. The groom is so well and favorably known that no introduction is needed. His usefulness will be enlarged and the church prospered, as he can preach better with a good wife to encourage him. The Press voices the sentiment of the entire community in sending congratulations, and in welcoming the bride to the hearts and home of the best people in Waterloo. We learn that the newly married will take a short trip and soon be at home to their friends here."--01 Jul 1897, The Waterloo (IN) Press
