Marriage*28 February 1880We suspect she married, as her first husband, Isaac Gross on 28 February 1880 in Indiana.5 
Census US 1880*7 June 1880Paulina and Isaac Gross were enumerated on the 1880 census taken on 7 June 1880 at 280 Bank Street, New Albany, Floyd County, Indiana. Isaac was recorded as 36 years of age and his occupation was keeping a variety and notions store. Paulina was 18 years old and her occupation was to stand in the store.6

We have found no additional records for him after his 1894 marriage with Paulina, and we know she married a third time in 1899. We would like to know what happened to Samuel, and will definitely welcome any information regarding his life, and his death, after Paulina.7
