He was in Johnstown, Fulton County, NY in 1860 and 1870. Lizzie was there in 1870, but then he had a wife named Ellen 10 years younger than him. Emaline is new. Problem was that I don’t find him in NY in 1850 so have no idea how he fits in. He would be Dutch though, as everyone in Fulton County was. He used the middle initial of D (David or Derrick) twice, if that’s a clue. They were in La Porte, Indiana in 1880. Anyway, Emaline, will be widowed here in 1910 with the two kids, which she will call step-children, so she is indeed a second wife.

In 1930 Chester has a half brother Emery Zimmerman born in 1908 with him. I assume Myrtle remarried a Zimmerman fella. Chester will marry Iva Whiting in Canada on December 1, 1913.
