Interesting:
- I’m sure I’ve seen Ellen’s father’s name in my research into the Lund family from Bornholm. It will be interesting to see if there are more connections.
- Ellen gave birth to a son on Sept. 12, 1905. Since her fever lasted for 10 days, it appears to have been complications due to childbirth. Such a common trend among women of the time. (ETA: according to Midge – “The fever listed on the other one is puerperal fever. It is also known as childbed fever & sadly is usually a result of bacteria introduced by the doctor or midwife assisting with the delivery. They didn’t understand the need for good handwashing & sterilizing instruments. With all the open blood vessels during childbirth, it would lead to an overwhelming infection also known as blood poisoning.”
- William Taylor, Ellen’s brother-in-law was the informant. He would lose his own wife Ada in childbirth only 4 years later.

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?

Interesting:
- John died one day after his 75th birthday.
- Listed as married but his wife died in 1916, according to his gravestone.
- His parents birthplaces, in addition to being misspelled, are inverted, maybe. His census records list his Father from Kentucky and his mother from Pennsylvania.
- ETA – According to Midge – “Apoplexy is the same as a stroke. Test confirming diagnosis looks like paralysis. They had few tests available to them back then but paralysis either complete or one sided is classic. More of a symptom than a test but I think that is what it says.”

Another document from the Family History Center.
Source: 1910 Census, Plain City, Weber, Utah, population schedule, Plain City Precinct, enumeration district (ED) 236, p. 8A, dwelling 147, family 151, John A. Taylor Family; digital images, Ancestry (Ancestry.com : downloaded 1 February 2012); T624, 1178 rolls.
Transcript:
Dwelling #147, Family #151, lines 1-3
Line 1. Taylor, John A. Head, M, W, 64, 1st marriage for 41 years, pob: Texas, father pob: Kentucky, mother pob: Pensylvania. Speaks English. Farmer, General Farm, Employer, can read, can write. Owns, Free, Farm, farm schedule 109.
Line 2. —–, Hanah A, Wife, F, W 60, 1st marriage for 41 years, 10 children, 9 living. pob: Den. Danish, father pob: Den. Danish, mother pob: Den. Danish. Immigrated in 1866. Speaks English. Not employed. Can read, can write.
Line 3. —–, Elmer. Son, M, W, 18, single, pob. Utah, father pob: Texas, mother pob: Den. Danish. Speaks English. Farm Laborer, at home, worker. Not out of work. Unemployed 5 months last year. Can read, can write.
Interesting:
- This document verifies the birth years for both John and Hannah.
- Hannah is spelled with one n but we now get a middle initial of “A”.
- A new son! Elmer appears to be the youngest of the children. We also learn that Hannah had 10 children and that 9 are living. Adding Elmer to the list I already have brings me to 6 children. I have 4 more to find.
Since the 1890 Census is no more, I’ll have to track down the 1900 census to see if I can find more children.
