PERSONAL OBSERVATION: these census records indicate that Charles Hisler,
born in Illinois of French parents, was married twice. The marriage
return for Charles Hisler and Annie Reeder indicated that the wedding
was the first for both. Rather confusingly, the marriage return for
Charles Hisler and Edith Goetz indicated that their wedding was also
the first for both. ALL OTHER INFORMATION about the groom mentioned
in both these marriage returns IS IN AGREEMENT.
