Eleanor (Nellie) Owings KY > OH (1876-1960)

Surnames: Owings, Hershey
I am trying to place my great-great grandmother in the Owings family tree but so far with no luck.

The reason I know her maiden name is because it's on her 1892 marriage license from Ohio. She married Henry C. Hershey from Ohio and had 3 children.

She was born 15 Oct 1876 in Kentucky (on marriage license) and she shows up in Ohio for the 1900, 1910, 1920, & 1930 census. She died in Cincinnati on 22 Nov 1960.

She goes by Nellie in the first 2 census, so I assumed she would be Nellie in the 1880 census. The only Nellie Owings I found was listed as living in Lexington with a birthdate abt. 1866. I assumed that was her with just a census error (there are so many!), but after some digging, I found the book "Owings and allied families, 1685-1985 : a genealogy of some of the descendants of Richard Owings I of Maryland" [found here: http://contentdm.lib.byu.edu/cdm4/document.php?CISOROOT=/FH1... ) and that Nellie was married to someone else.

Can anyone place her?

I would be so appreciative!
