Ernest was b. in Grimes, Iowa and was while out west he worked for William George. There he met and m. June 20, 1906, at Pleasant Ridge, Montana, Edith Kate George. Sometime after her death (Edith d. January 8, 1910) he migrated to Alcester, SD and obtained work on the farm of Addison and Mary Hoard. Later he m. their daughter, Effie May Hoard. Ernest and Effie traveled back to Caldwell, Idaho to claim his daughter Elizabeth and took her back to South Dakota with them.
notes:
The Canyon County Death Abstracts noted that Edith K. Hoff, age 31, d. January 8, 1910, at Caldwell. (No Obituary found in Paper, searched Jan. 7, thru Jan. 15, 1910.)
Edith d. of "Brights desease" [kidney failure]. She knew she wasn't going to live and asked her parents to take Beth and raise her as their own, which they did agree to do. However they did not make a legal document and when Ernest remarried he came and took Beth with them. This was very sad for the grandparents.
