      The father-son relationship between Absalom and Elisha was always presumed but with a lack of paperwork. This biography of H.A. Kale solidifies the link.

      Although the wife is listed as "Susan A. Moose", it appears to be a mangled translation of the original record. It is most likely the record of marriage for Catherine Emily Moore.
