Notes

It appears Annette Lincoln lived her entire life in Belmont, Wisconsin. She married at the age of 19 to one of the Tunks siblings (her husband was 21 at the time). Her younger brother, Robert, married the sister of Annette's husband, and Annette's older sister, Rebecca, married the father of Annette's husband. The exact date of Annette's marriage is from the Stevens Point Area Genealogical Society (http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~wispags/resources/mar-bride-i-l.html), and from the obituaries for her husband, William H. Tunks, shown on the right. Annettte died rather early (age 47) of unknown cause, but the obituary implies it was due to a chronic illness. Her youngest child was age 10 at the time. Then names and birthdates of her five children is from the various census forms shown on the right (the 1900 US Census contains several incorrect spellings).

Annette's husband, William, lived another 27 years after her death. William Henry Tunks, born 19-Oct-1855, died at the age of 75 on 26-Sep-1931, and data from the 1910 US Census (not shown at right), shows he remarried a woman named Jennie Meade. See also obituaries of William Tunks shown on the right.
