Looking for information on the Rist family, specifically, Johannes Abraham Rist and his wife Wilhelmina "Minnie" Leaux Rist Sweet. Both immigrants from Germany who lived in the Richland county area. Early on they were in Ashland County, but moved into Richland by about 1900.

Children were John, Arthur, Edward, and Irene. I come from Edward and his family moved to Indianapolis.

Abraham died in April 29, 1916. Minnie married (or remarried, I should say) William Sweet.

Abraham and Minnie were married the first time in 1867, got divorced and she married Wm Sweet. They got divorced and she remarried Abraham, then they must have divorced again (or maybe Abraham died) and she remarried Wm Sweet.

I think Abraham had a sister by the last name of Hink who came from Germany and lived in the area as well.

I cannot find a date of death for Minnie. She is still living in the 1920 census. William dies shortly thereafter and I'm wondering if maybe she married another man, but I can't find a marriage record nor a death record for her under any of those last names.

Any help is appreciated.
