Proposed Change: Fredericka Griener (I87301)
Tree: Südpfalz / Southern Palatinate

Description: It is unfortunate that I cannot find William and Fredericka in 1870. It's one of those last name blunders by either the enumerator or transcriber.
Yet, I did find them in 1880, and Ida appears, among other siblings.

I also located these records:
There was a Charles Linsenmeyer born about 1859. He did not appear in the 1880 census, but would have been about 21 years of age. He could have been on his own. Anyway, here is a death record (including name of wife, Matilda):

Marriage of Charles and Matilda Caroline Rauft:
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/FCDY-JLX
I then located Charles and Matilda, with two children in 1900. Don't be fooled by Charles' year of birth. It says 1869, but if you do the math on his age (see actual record), he was born around 1859. Both his parents follow his household on the sheet:

Then, there is a Fred Linsenmeyer, whose death record shows a wife, Sophia:

A marriage record for Edward comes up, and think outside the box on mother Eureka (Frederika). He was married to a Nora Nieb, but not the one in your db:

1900 census of Edward and Nora, showing a child:
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/M912-2KJ
(I located Nora and her parents in the 1880 census):

Under separate cover, I sent you the following information on William Jr, (in you db, but not attached to parents):
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/FCDB-QJ2
He was also not in the household at age 17 in 1880. Could be that he was living and working on someone else's farm. Can't be sure.
The following, is my guess on Albert's birth:
