Read More	Elvin Marion Hilsabeck (known as "E.M.") was born in Owen county, Indiana, probably migrating to Marshall county in the early 1850s with his father, William Henry Hilsabeck. They made their home early on in the Ferguson, Iowa, area, but he later owned a farm near Liscomb and retired to his third wife's farm south of Ferguson sometime after they were married. E.M. first married Mary Ann (Polly) Hauser, eldest child of Jacob Hauser, Marshall county pioneer, who gave birth to Carey Hilsabeck. Within six months, Polly died, and Carey Hilsabeck was adopted by Nancy J. Arney Neff and her husband H. G. Neff. E.M. then may have returned to Owen county to find his second wife, Martha E. Fiscus, with whom he had eight children, the last being born in 1888, or he may have found her in Arkansas, where they were married in 1865. At the age of 16, his daughter Rebecca was married in Arkansas, so sometime around 1885, his family may have been living in Arkansas. By the early 1890s, the family was in Marshall county. Martha Fiscus Hilsabeck died in 1902. E.M. was married once more to a widow, Melia (or perhaps Permelia) Ferguson Robinson of Ferguson, Iowa. She had two children from her previous marriage, Ora, who died young, and Alva J. Robinson, who worked the Robinson farm for his mother and stepfather. E. M. Hilsabeck was a successful farmer and a member of the Masons. He is featured in Marshall County Past and Present (1912), though some of the information about Melia Robinson Hilsabeck's children in that history is incorrect. His daughter, Minnie I. Hilsabeck, married William Arney's son, Wilkie Arney, in 1894. Wilkie Arney was descended from Henry Arney, Sr. (Johann Heinrich Arney). E.M. Hilsabeck is descended from Henry Arney's sister, Anna Catherine Arney, and descended from other Owen County, Indiana, pioneers such as John Hilsabeck and Hieronymus Speas. E.M. Hilsabeck was buried in Bethel Grove Cemetery. Many listings for Bethel Grove do not have his name. The stone set for Martha Fiscus Hilsabeck when she died identified her as the wife of E.M. Hilsabeck, but that stone was never inscribed for E.M. when he was buried there. Nevertheless, there are "Father" and "Mother" stones on either side of the obelisk marker and the burial in Bethel Grove was announced in his obituary in the Marshalltown Times-Republican.
