1885 in Mears, Oceana MI, Lillian married William Asa Pringle and 10 yrs later Lillian marries Ara C. Marvin as far as census records reveal; in searching for a divorce, death, etc for one William Asa Pringle I haven't found one - some that are a close match reveal Wm Asa Pringle was a minister. 2 children are born to William Asa Pringle & Lillian (Slaght) - Jerome in 1886 and Asa William in 1889) So will try to discover more on these individuals; then by 1895 Lillian is remarried to Ara C.

(Medical):1871 census, Lillie is residing with her Aunt Cleopatra and Uncle Stanton Carpenter, as well as her grandfather Miller Weeks* (the census recorder has used the name Miller Weeks, but I am confident it is Daniel Miller Weeks) hw
In 1880, Lillie is recorded with her parents Cyrennius and Maria Slaght, residing in Mears, Oceana, MI, USA. Lillie is noted as age 16, and working as a clerk in a store (presumably maybe her father's business as he is noted as a dry goods merchant)
