Wilbur Allen Ikenberry, Iowa
I seem to have hit wall at my ggfather. He was Wilbur Allen Ikenberry (b.4/30/1896, IA d.8/171944, CA). He married Lelia Mae Maxwell (b. 5/1899, Butler Co., IA d.1928) in Iowa and had at least one child, my gmother Maurine Elizabeth. Lelia Mae is buried in Butler Co. IA, but at some point (perhaps after Lelia Mae's relatively early death) at least Wilbur and Maurine moved to CA. Maurine went on to marry John Henry Morgan.
I can get past Lelia Mae and up the Maxwell line, but can't find anything at all about an Iken-/Eiken-/Eichen- -berry/-bury/-berg with a Wilbur A. child.
Sound familiar to anyone? Any clues would be appreciated.

Looks like Wilbur and Lelia Mae had at least 4 kids, two boys and two girls (married into names Morgan and Barrett)

Re: Wilbur Allen Ikenberry, Iowa
Hi Mike, My name is Andrea Ikenberry, and Wilbur Allen Ikenberry is my ggfather too. My grandfather is Edward Ikenberry, your grandmother Maurine's brother.
I know that all the Ikenberry children eventually moved to California after their mother's death, when Wilbur was able to come too. Edward stayed for some time with Wilbur's mom prior to the move.
I would love to discuss this more with you and hear what you found out about the Maxwell line.
I actually fouund another variation of Ikenberry to spelled Eichenbeere - translated as fruit of the oak.

I just saw this update. Lelia and Wilbur's children are as follows according to age:
Maurine Edward Billy - Still alive, lives in Southern CA Marvel - Still alive, lives in Springfield, Oregon
I just spoke with my mom, and she has a lot of information to share too.
