According to information found on an 1870 Census report, Daniel Saylor Wampler was married to Helen L. Weitzell and lived in Somerset County, Pennsylvania with their three children: Clara J. (1866), (Jonas) Elias (~1868), and Benjamin H. Wampler (1870). Clara and Jonas Elias were born in Indiana and Benjamin H. in Pennsylvania. I have only come across the 1870, 1910, and 1920 US Census reports for Daniel S. Wampler. Since none of the children from Daniel Saylor's marriages are mentioned in William Freeman Wampler's obituary, I am leaning to thinking all had passed prior to 1966.
I came across Clara Wampler, born in 1866 and passing in 1903, listed among the 22 individuals stated to be buried in Whetzel-Fike Cemetery in Garret County, Maryland. The memorial page for her stated her spouse was "archibale[sic] broadwater" and I used that information to locate a census report for Archibald Broadwater who had a wife named Clara born 1866 in Indiana. The birth information matched up to the 1870 US Census and the fact she was buried in the same small family cemetery as Daniel Saylor Wampler, Helen L. Weitzel, and Susan Bittinger helped seal the deal. Clara J. Wampler and Archibald Broadwater, according to the 1900 US Census, were married in 1883 and had two children: a daughter named Meda C. (1884) and a son named Clinton (1892).

Archibald's second wife was Margaret. Although his obituary states he was buried in the Weitzell Cemetery, his name does not appear in the FindAGrave listing of internments for the Whetsell-Fike Cemetery in Garret County, Maryland.
