A second marriage record for a Joseph Etherton and one Ida Manfold for 5 Mar 1883 was also found (Book C). Will add as a marriage for this Joseph due to time period, no other Joseph Etherton around, and dates work. No other proof.

The parents of Lula M. Ethington are not known as of July 2002. Reference to this family comes from marriage record found in Jefferson County Indiana, across the river from Trimble County KY.
We do know that Kentucky couples sometimes did go to Indiana to be married, for what-ever cause.
Note that Lula M. spells her name ETHINGTON. Descendants of Joseph Ethington, son of William and Caty Ethington of Culpeper Virginia, who lived in Jefferson County Indiana, spelled their name consistently ETHERTON.
Need more information. No file for this couple. Marriage date only found in Jefferson records while researching Joseph Etherton.
HDE July 2002.
In the 1880 census, we find a girl Lula Ethington, age 12, working with the Penn family in Bald Knob, Franklin Co KY. Bald Knob is the area where Nancy (Hannah) Ethington, sister of James Ethington and children of William and Sarah Ann Ethington, lived. Robert Owen Ethington, son of James, was married to Jennie Penn.It seems likely that Lula M. Ethington is one of the Henry County KY Ethingtons that she was working with the Penn family in Bald Knob because of Robert Owen Ethington's marriage to the Penn family, and the presence of Nancy Ethington and her husband Wes Duvall in Franklin County.
Will not connect Lula M. Ethington to any family until further is known.
Census Place: Bald Knob, Franklin, Kentucky

Marriage record for Clara Etherton found in Jefferson Co IN book D for 21 Oct 1890 to James R. Demaree. This may be the "John" that she is shown as married to in family records. Will add James as husband, and look for further information on husband "John".

Per Jane Shaw:
Henry N. Mohler was hospitalized during most of his adult life, stargin in about 1942, with tuberculosis. He was out of thw hospital for about a year in the early 1950's when he started a taxi cab company in Frankfort, Indiana. His health quickly failed and he was agin hospitalized until his death.
During the time of his hospitalization, his visits with his family were limited to holidays.
Henry's marriage to Jeanette Gentry ended in divorce after lasting only a few months. There were no children.
Per Jane Shaw:
Virginia McCoy Mohler is buried in the Greenlawn Cemetery, Frankfort Indiana near her mother, Mary Zook McCoy, her father, Harry Collin McCoy, and her brother Elmer McCoy.
She spent all but six months of her life living on Oak Street in Frankfor, Indiana. She and Henry purchased their first and only home next door to the house she was born in and two houses from the house she was raised in. She was still living in the home she loved at the time of her death.
She loved finding old things at sales and had a talent for seeing something everyone else missed. Her home was nicely decorated with many of her "finds" mixed with newer furnishings. She also had a talent for gardening. Strangers used to look over the fenced into her back yard and ask to come through the gate for a better view.
Due to her husband's extended illness, she worked her entire life. Although she did many things, her primary employmnet was in local factories. She always maintained that working in a factory paid the bills better than a "white collar" job. There wer times, between factory jobs when she did whatever she was able to find in order to live. One summer, after being laid off, she worked in a Dime Store and mowed lawns for additional money. She was always hard working and did what she felt was necessary to keep her home and family together.
