Louis is the son of Joseph B and Mary Alexander Yingst.
Most if not all Researchers document Louis as having two (2) wives.
Many believe Isabel Gorrell Weddle (1867- ?) was Louis’ first spouse, married about 1908.
His last spouse was Bernice C Garrett Paulsel (1879-1954), married after 1935.
What they have missed is Louis in the 1900 Census for Newberry Tws, Miami Cty, Ohio.
The reason this documentation has been overlooked is because the Enumerator has misspelled Yingst as Yingist. Yes, this has to be Lewis because his parents and sister are on the same page and they are also misspelled as Yingist.
What is significant is Louis has a spouse, Belle, age 21, born April 1879. She was born in Ohio as were her parents. Belle and Louis have been married 2 years, (abt 1898).
They have a 1 year old son, Leo, born 1899.
