Children not shown in links below (burial location unknown by me) are Fred Ellis (1871 - 1872 probably born in or near Lincoln Township, Neosho County where the family appears in the 1870 census, and reportedly buried Erie KS), and twins Karl & Kirk (1879 - 1880; Karl reportedly documented as died in Erie). Thomas' siblings as listed in his obituary are O.C. Limbocker of Big Creek KS, J.G. Limbocker of Lincoln Township KS, and Mrs. Lou Gregory of Wichita KS. Thomas served with Company G, Iowa 5th Cavalry, during the Civil War. At the time of his death, Thomas was the Tax Assessor for Neosho County. He was gravely injured while trying to stop a runaway horse team & wagon outside his feed lot, and died from his injuries 2 days later.

Possible relatives include sister Louise Gregory, brother Orlando Limbocker, brother JG Limbocker and nephew Kirk Limbocker.
