John Mahler - 1880 Census - My great great grandparents (direct paternal)

A cousin found this and sent it my way. This is a page from the 1880 census.  On line 42 is my great-great grandfather, John Mahler, who was a blacksmith. He was born about 1844 or so, and died about 1888. His wife was Anna Mahler, and the census lists their 3 kids (as of 1880) - Frank, Ferdinand and Anna. JohnJosephMahler

My great grandfather, John Joseph Mahler, was born in 1881.  (Hmm, just realized that meant that he was 7 when his dad died.) LovinaFremouw

John Joseph married my great grandmother, Lovinia Fremouw, who was born in the Netherlands. She died giving birth to my grandfather, Richard John Mahler. Lovina's dad, Cornelius Fremouw, died in a mining accident before she was born.  I never really knew my paternal grandfather, or very much about Dad's side of the family. Hmm, interesting that I have photos of my great grandparents, and no images of my grandfather, nor any real memories of him. There does seem to be a history of parents and children on that side not being close.
