Ethel's age in her birth record does not jibe with the 1900 census.

1a.  Indiana Works Progress Administration.  1938-40. Indiana Marriage Collection, 1800-1941 (online at Ancestry.com):

Name:	John Canico	John Carico	John Carico
Spouse Name:	Fanny Brandreff	Anna Baker	Anna Tibbetts
Marriage Date:	22 Oct 1882	5 Nov 1889/1890	14 Apr 1909
Marriage County:	Vigo	Clay
Source Title-1:	Vigo County, Indiana	Clay County, Indiana
Source Title-2:	Index to Marriage Record 1860 - 1920 Inclusive Vol
Source Title-3:	W.P.A. Original Record Located County Clerk's O	Original Record Located in County Clerk's Office B
Book:	9	7	15
OS Page:	160	543	260
I'll wager "Canico" is a mis-reading of Carico and "Fanny" is a mis-reading of "Anny" or some other kind of error.  These Indiana marriage records were extracted during the Great Depression by employees of the Works Progress Administration, as a way of supplying income to the unemployed.  These people were not genealogists and not experienced at extracting historical records.  These extractions and compilations contain a great many errors; and, because they do, I'm willing to accept that the 1882 marriage record is that of our subject and his first wife.  It is recommended that the original records (or a microfilm of them) be consulted.

1b.  Indiana Works Progress Administration.  1938-40. Indiana Birth Records Index, 1880-1920 (online at Ancestry.com; missing columns contained no data):

Carrico	John	and Brand	Male	27 Feb 1888	H-2	3	Clay	Clay County, Indiana,  Index to Birth Records, 1882-1920
Carice	John	Ertibbits	Male	30 May 1890	H-2	9	Clay
Carico	John	E Tibbits	Male	30 May 1890	CH-1	70	Clay
Carico	John		Female	28 Sep 1891	CH-1	85	Clay
Carico	John	Baker	Female	28 Sep 1891	H-2	29	Clay
Carrico	John	Anna Tibbuts	Female	4 Apr 1893	H-3	10	Clay
Carico	John	M Boker	Female	9 Feb 1895	H-4	45	Clay
Carico	John	Minnie Baker	Female	9 Feb 1895	CH-1	132	Clay
It's hard to imagine something more filled with errors than the WPA marriage records, but the birth records are, and similar reasons.  I haven't a clue why some births were recorded twice.  The original records need to be consulted.

Did John marry, again?  Or is Minnie BAKER just Annie (TIBBETS) BAKER?
