Indiana Marriage Index 1845-1920
Record Location: Grant County, Indiana

Spouse 1: Lemuel Counterman

Marriage Date: 02 Jul 1920

******************************************
Wasn't able to find John Gagen's marriage to Lillian/Lily online. The 1910 census
states they are married 6 yrs. which would be about 1904 probably in Huntington Co., or
Grant Co., Indiana which is where they were living in 1910. John claims in 1910 that he
was only married twice, but in 1900 he is stated as being divorced (from Carrie Smith) and
he shows up in Tippecanoe Co., Indiana on a marriage record to a Clara Scott in Oct. 1901.
There is a Clara Gagen buried here in Tippecanoe Co., in the Springvale Cemetery
according to Find-a-Grave. Could be he divorced her also and then married Lillian. It
looks like John was married at least three times. Could locate John in the 1930 census,
I am guessing that maybe he died before then. I did find a marriage record which I
included for a Lilly Gagen to a Counterman which could be John's widow/ex-wife.
Hope this info is helpful.
