Found in the 1940 Census that Louise Kiesling was living with her sister Cora (Frederick) Johner.
Louise's two children were John H. a. 8 and Yvonne a. 4. From your web page Louise married John Charles Bodine.
And from the obit, her daughter, Yvonne, married Clyde Page. I also under stand that their daughter, Laurie, married a Jones and that Laurie Jones has a daughter named Susanna Jones.

My wife, Marsha, has a photo showing six generations of daughters from Grandma Weber to Susanna Jones. If you want we can send you the photo with the names given. If you know, we would like to know more about Yvonne's marriage, her daughter, Laurie, and Susanna to complete the genealogy shown in the photo.

Marsha's mother was Norma Weidlich, a cousin of Louise Frederick.

Thank you,
