I am searching for additional information for John H. Walters b. 1843/44 (d. ?) and Elmira McKenzie b. 1848 in Circleville OH (d. 1904 in Iola); married in Allen County 11/27/67.

Lived in Iola; children Nellie, Odell, Jennie, Lucie, Alpha. John Walters' sister Hester taught first public school. John Walters served in 9th Reg. KS Cavalry 1864-5; served as Iola sheriff ?. According to post by ctillman from Allen County census and marriage records, Elmira Walters' siblings married in Iola: Wilson William (1866), Mary Ann (Drake, 1861), John Louis (1865), Elizabeth (Thomas, 1865), Sarah (Ellis, 1863); two other siblings Joseph and Amanda (Jones) married in Chautauqua County.

Nellie Walters (d. 1936) served as school superintendent 19?. Jennie Walters worked as bookkeeper at NY Store 19?; moved to Buffalo, NY 19? and married George L. Hoffman in 1920?. Our family has photos of John Walters riding in annual parade, NY Store in background; Jennie and co-workers inside NY Store (dry goods); around Walters home in Iola.

Any additional information is appreciated.
