  • Notes 
    • James Shiff doesn’t appear in the Eighth Census of the United States for Fond du Lac County, and John, who *DOES* appear in the 1870 US Federal Census, is never mentioned otherwise. Since a “James Scheff” is listed in Delia (Shiff) Jarvis’ obituary as having survived her, it is assumed that “John” and “James” are the same man. [3, 4]
