Surnames: Shuey, Oliver Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/Fl.2ADE/1833.1.1.1.1.1 Message Board Post: The 1930 US Census (Des Moines, Polk, IA, Roll 676, ED 67, Image 785) shows Sherman Shuey, age 53, born abt 1877, living in Des Moines, IA with his wife Leda, and their three sons, Frank, Clarence, and John, and John's wife Maud. They are living next door to the Briley family which is Maud's family. Maud Briley and John H. Shuey were my great-grandparents. At the time of the 1930 Census, Maud was 18 years old and pregnant with my grandmother, Dorothy Shuey. Dorothy would marry Marvin Oliver, son of Merle Oliver and Leona Clark, in 1948. As you noted, Sherman was 4 in the 1880 Census which would fit the Sherman Shuey who was 53 in 1930. The 1920 US Census (Roll T625-50, page 14A, Oskaloosa, Mahaska County, Iowa, ED 79 Image 0232) shows Sherman living in Oskaloosa, Mahaska County, IA, again with his wife Leda and their 3 sons. I could not find your info showing Sherman living alone in Marion County in 1920.
