The following narrative says Nancy's death left five children, but the above list has six. I'm looking at Frank Shultz, not well documented yet, wondering if he should come out of that list. For now he stays. Maybe he died young, which makes it true that her death left five children. Frank is not in the 1880 census, where he would have been listed as two years old, but oldest daughter Hattie is listed.

Eli Shultz, son of Jesse and Elizabeth Shultz, married Nancy Elizabeth Rash on March 5, 1876 in the home of Melvin Rash at Union, IA. Theirs was a double wedding, in which Nancy's cousin Arsula Rash (Melvin Rash's daughter) married Joe Davis. Eli & Nancy moved in 1882 to Oregon. When she died in 1889, leaving five young children, he returned to Iowa. Eli's second wife was Nancy's cousin (Arsula's sister) Charlotte Ruth Rash Hammer, 1869-1944, widow of George Washington Hammer.

Was Nancy's middle name Emma or Elizabeth? I've seen both. Play it safe and say Nancy E. Rash Shultz.

In 1889 Nancy E. Rash died.
In 1896 Eli married Charlotte Rash Hammer and the above five or six children became the step-siblings of Charlotte's children with her first husband George W. Hammer.

Children of George W. Hammer and Charlotte Rash:
Warren Hammer 1887-1962
Cora Hammer 1889-1937
Vernon Hammer 1893-1991

In 1893 George Hammer died.
In 1896 Charlotte married Eli Shultz and the above children became the step-siblings of Eli's children with his first wife Nancy E. Rash.
