Graham:

I realize this isn't much, but in the LDS online site,

http://32.96.111.13/default.asp

there is a Louis Spilcker b 1866 Oberbube, Westphalia, Germany, m to
Mary Welking, also b Germany. Louis d 1934 and is buried in Ellis, KS.
There is one child listed, Maria, b 1894 Ellis, KS. Looks as if Louis
and Mary were m in Ellis. Another ref appears in the following URL,
which I found through a general Internet search:

http://www.hemet.klever.net/~twosocks/fam00441.htm

It appears to be the same family, but there is another child named,
Edith, b 1891, also in Ellis, KS. Edith m a John Koenig.

Although I am not familiar with German settlement in KS, I do a lot of
KS research and know that the German community was extensive.

Maybe this will at least point you toward some KS research, as well as
Indiana.

Regards,
Ellen Bisson
