The Melvern Review Thursday April 2, 1925 Cream Station Opens. The Beatrice Creamery Company has installed a poultry and cream station in the Everston building, across from Fulton's store. They were open for business Saturday, under the supervision of one of the company's representatives, however they plan to employ a local man to look after the business interests here.

I really need to figure out how to get all of the information out of these census records, I think I'm overlooking some information. I seem to remember my mother saying George died young, but I don't know how young. I don't have a date of death for George or Ana, the date of death I have for Carrie was given to me by my mother and the date of Death for William I was able to find on Ancestry. As for the 1900 census I would have to say the three living were Ana, William and my gggrandmother Carrie. Yes, Carrie's daughter Lucille Marie Wagoner is my gggrandmother. Later in life she dropped the A and went back to E and was known as Marie Wagoner. The little bit of paperwork I have includes the O in Wagoner for my ggrandmother. I didn't know that Carrie was divorced, we really wondered about that, whether her husband died or she was divorced. I know Carrie died in 1908 in Albany, NY and was married to a second husband at the time. So, by the 1910 census only Ana and William were living...well, I assume Ana and William, it could have been George and William, if my mother was wrong. I can't thank you enough for the help you are giving me! Thank you, thank you! Kerri Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Or you may already have them. 1880 census; Alois and Carline Volk and family wer living in Osage City, KS. He was listed as a miner. 1900 census; Aliose and Caroline Volk were living in Burlingame, KS. He was still a coal miner. Caroline is listed as mother of 7 children with 3 living. (So apparently somewhere there are three more children born to these parents that don't show up in census records.) The spelling that was transcribed as Cassie, could in my opinion have been written as Carrie; she was mother of 1 child, 1 living. Martial status was listed as "D", I assume meaning divorced. Living in this household was a granddaughter (your ggrandmother ?) Lucile M. Wagner b. Oct 1894. 1910 census, Caroline Volk was listed as mother of 7 with 2 living. Also, in this household was a granddaughter; Maria Wagner, a. 16. Apparently the middle initial in Lucile M. stood for Maria and she had switched from Lucile to Maria. Don't know the correct spelling - Wagner vs. Wagoner, but both the 1900 and 1910 census appeared to leave out the "O".

So....... I also realized that I started my first reply with the 1880 census, but since Anna was listed as born in 1867, the family should be in the 1870 census but I have had no luck finding them. Curious. Eldon Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Well, I'm here to tell you, you are wonderful! Thank you so much. This information is helping me piece things together. I wonder if I have Caroline's father wrong, when I saw the name Eliza that you listed it made me remember the name Elsie that I had from some of my mother's things. My mother has postcards from an Elsie, I don't remember who the postcards were address to but I will be checking that soon. I think Elsie's last name is Swenson, but I could have that wrong. I don't know where my gggrandmother Carrie was married but her only child, my ggrandmother was born in Topeka Kansas. Her first husband may have been William Wagoner, this was my ggrandmother's father. I believe her second husband was John Newman. According to our records Carrie died in Albany, NY in 1908.
