Interesting:
- We don’t get John’s birth year or age. I wonder who was reporting this information to the enumerator.
- At this point, the farm was mortgaged. By 1910 it would be owned outright.
- I believe the fourth son listed should be spelled Ether…possibly an enumerator error?
- If you’ll remember from the 1910 census, only one son was living at home. His name was Elmer and he was 18, so born about 1892. He should show up on this census but doesn’t. Age wise it looks to be Lester, but Elmer and Lester are quite different names. Are they both really sons? Could one of them be a nephew or even a grandson?
