Isadore Dodge
The census in the last post found several families all living in a township in Hutchinson, including Truman N. Dodge and his wife Dora (Klotz). Dora's parents were on the next page, but Truman's parents were not. Today we found them in another township in Hutchinson, SD in 1900 and traced Truman's father through all of the federal censuses before 1900.
Going backwards in time:
1900, in Parkinson Town (South Dakota > Hutchinson > Susquchanna > District 183 > pg 2)
Isadore Dodge, b. March 1846 in Ohio, was living with his wife Jane and two children.
Jane, b. May 1844 in Iowa, married Isadore in 1866. Her father was born in Massachussetts and her mother in Connecticut.
5 of their 8 children were still living, and their daughter Ida (b. Nov 1886) and their son Aburt (b. Dec 1889) were living at home.
1880, in Sugar Creek, IA (Iowa > Poweshiek > Sugar Creek > District 197 > pg 22)
Isadore (33, b. OH) and his wife Jane (34 b. IA) were living with 4 children, all born in IA: Truman (13), William (7), Ada (5), and Austen (6 mo.)
We learn in addition that Isadore's parents were both born in NH.
1870, in Richland, IA (Iowa > Jasper > Buena Vista > pg 19)
Isidore (b. 1845 OH) and Jane (b. 1845 IA) had a 3-year-old son Truman (who is indexed as Freeman, but the image looks like Truman).
Another ancestry.com user had annotated the entry to say that he was born as Frederick Isadore Dodge.
1860, again in Richland, IA (Iowa> Mahaska > Richland > Page 22)
We find Isadore by the name Fredk I, at age 13. The entire household:
Levi Dodge (49) b. NH
Ruth (53) b. RI
Francis (19) b. NH
Fredk I (13) b. OH
John (11) b. OH
also living in the house: William and Sally Gifford (ages 74 and 79--maybe: the 7 was hard to read). William, from CT, was working a s a farm laborer; Sally was from MA.
1850, in Rush, OH (Ohio > Champagne > Rush > pg 21)
Levi Dodge (38) and Ruth (41) are living with their children William (13), Francis (10), Frederick (5), and John (1). Birthplaces same as for 1860.
A William (20) and Eliza (15) Gifford are living with them as well: William is a Clerk, and both of them were born in OH.
*So, are the Giffords the in-laws? Ruth's brother and sister were living with them in 1850, and then the parents have moved in by 1860? I need to look into this more next time.
Also for next time: check the 1885 Territorial Census of the Dakota Territory for Isadore Dodge. On an initial search his name came up, but the linked image did not appear to list him, although it did list John and Ann Klotz, future parents-in-law of Truman Dodge.
I will post the census images separately.

Braatz, Dodge, and Stainbrook
Today I looked at the 1900 US Census for South Dakota > Huntchinson > Township 100 > District 193. I had found it some time ago on a search for Carl Braatz, but hadn't actually looked through it yet.
Page 3 has Carl and Sarah Braatz, and 8 of their children including nine-year-old Isaac. They are listed as having 9 living children, but the youngest, born in 1900, is not named on the form. It states Carl's immigration date as 1867, and his birth as Mar 1851.
Sarah's father and mother were born in Pennsylvania and Indiana, respectively, and her father Isaac Kiser Stainbrook is noted on page 4 as a widower at age 69. He and his parents were all born in Pennsylvania. Also in Isaac's home is a 58-year-old servant named JohnWardwell, who is originally from Wisconsin.
Several of Sarah's siblings are also found throughout the census.
Looking through the rest of the census, we find Truman Dodge and his wife Dora (Klotz) on page 5 with their four children. One of those is four-year-old Mina, future wife of Isaac Braatz. Truman and Dora had been married for 10 years, and Dora's parents are living nearby, listed on page 2. Truman, b. 1867, and his mother were both born in Iowa, but his father was from Ohio.
John and Anna Klotz, Dora's parents, reported 6 of their 10 children were still living, though none were in the household. John, b. 1832, and Anna, b. 1831, were both born in Austria to Austrian parents and came to the US in 1869.
