Researching the Bitler (founder of Bitlertown [now Olpe], KS and associated families of Lyon Co. Originated in PA, moved to OH, then to KS.
Current brick wall is Clem Carey Bitler. He registered for the WW I draft and listed his birthdate as 5 Mar 1884, lived and worked as a special agent in Kansas City at time of registration. Listed his closest relative as Frances Beghtell [Bechtel]. Can not find him in 1900 Census.
I also have a marriage between a Maud Bitler and George Bechtel in Lyon Co 27 Aug 1896, and this must be the connection, but I can not place either of these in the tree.
Any assistance appreciated.
