Jonathan wasn't listed with the family in the 1880 census, but according to his mother's obituary on January 29, 1915, he was living in Cairo, NE.
The Jonathan I've listed in census other than with parents is estimated based on location, age, and place of birth of he and his parents.

This may be his first marriage, but it's later than Fern's birth year per 1900 and 1910 census. Familysearch.org
