Research Notes

Ida' s age in the 1910 census is not consistent with the 1900 census or her birth record. She is 10 in 1900 and 7 in 1910. Possibly the census taker left a number out and meant to record her as 17. George (the father) is 37 in 1900 and 45 in 1910. Judson is 0 in 1900 and 10. The other children weren't born until after 1900.

The daughter in the 1930 census whose name is indecipherable is probably Helen who is 15 in the 1940 census. No record of her death has been found yet.
