In 1880, widowed Abraham Kauffman is working as a hired hand for Adam and Mahulda (Elsberry) Fiscus. This is two years after Hannah Arney died. Adam was Hannah's second cousin.[1]
Married Fanny Fiscus on 10 Sep 1887. His marriage record gives his father's name as A. Kaufman and his mother's as Mary Millhouse. He also indicates that this is his second marriage.[2] I believe this is the same Abraham "Coffman" who married Hannah Arney in 1878. Hannah passed away that same year, apparently during childbirth, as indicated by the information on her Find-a-Grave memorial.
