— born in Lloyd Twp., Dickinson Co., IA:
  8.  William C. STRUBE, b. Dec 1888; d. 1924, Jackson, Jackson Co., MN; WWI Veteran
  9.  (Child) STRUBE, died young
10.  Alma STRUBE, b. Jun 1894
11.  Christopher John "Christ / Chris" STRUBE, b. 10 Oct 1896

One of Chris's sisters married a Carl JOHNSON (see Chris's WWI draft card).

1.  Illinois Statewide Marriage Index, 1763–1900:

STRUBE, Christoph

DEHNE, Sophie

07/25/1877

v. 101

Lic#31842

Cook Co.

I can't find an earlier marriage for Christoph, at least not under any spelling variation I can think to search on.

2.  1870 Census Every-Name-Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com, Image #21 of 31 — indexed "Starne"):  Peotone P.O., Peotone Twp., Will Co., IL, Roll M593_292 (Book 1), p. 373A, PN 21, 145/145, enumerated 26 Aug 1870, official enumeration date 1 Jun 1870 (extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):¤•

S????  Christopher	32	M	W	Farmer		??	Hanover
______ Dora?	26	F	W	Keeping House			Do
______ Doras?	2	F	W				Ills

This record is so faded, I can barely read it (and it's even less readable at Genealogy.com).  Christopher's wife is indexed, "Lena," but it looks to me more like "Dora."

3.  1880 Census Every-Name-Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com, Image #19 of 35):  Peotone Twp., Will Co., IL, Roll T9_260, p. 387A, PN 18, SD 4, ED 209, enumerated 10 Jun 1880, official enumeration date 1 Jun 1880 (extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):¤•
