Census Sunday -- Lena Wenkel, found

Wenkel, Lena line 17
When I posted about August Frederick Andreas Wenkel, I was missing daughter Lena's name on the 1900 census.

I found her.  Here she is, line 17, in Lincoln, Arenac County, Michigan

She was working in Lincoln Township, Arenac, Michigan as a domestic.  She was 14 years old, and she lived and worked for the Kraus family, who were also immigrants from Germany.  I wonder, did these two families know each other in the old country?  The Kraus family had three daughters, one of whom married Lena's brother Fred in 1915.

Is this your Wenkel?
