Following are 1910 and 1920 censuses for Fred ALTSWAGER, indicating that he was a "politician" (1910) and a county auditor (1920) in Reno county. (See census transcriptions at the end of this message.) I am interested in locating ALTSWAGER specifically for the purpose of tracking Dora BONHAM Knapp Altswager. Dora was the widow of Henry KNAPP of southwest Wisconsin, and married Fred sometime before 1920. (Family notes claim their marriage took place Jan 13 or 17 1896 in Wichita, but I haven't pursued documenting that because Fred is listed as single in 1910.) I am most interested in discovering whether/when/where Dora BONHAM Knapp died in/near Reno county. Dora Jane Bonham was born between 1856 & 1857, probably in Wisconsin. (Her age is incorrect in the 1920 census; her birthplace very probably is incorrect, too.) Dora BONHAM and William Henry KNAPP had two daughters: 1. Maude L. Knapp, born 1876-1877 2. Mabel R. Knapp, born August 18, 1879; married Arthur REYNOLDS, date/place unknown It appears that Dora and her daughters lived in Colorado (probably Boulder) during the 1890s. Maud entered Colorado University in October 1891. 1910 US Census, KS, Reno, 4WD Hutchinson [T624 Roll 453, Part 2, Page 100B] Living at 223 Avenue A East ALTSWAGER, F.J., roomer, m, w, 48, single, MI GER GER, Politician ====== 1920 Census, Kansas, Reno County, Hutchinson Twp., ED 189, Pg 9A (Roll T625_546, Image 728) Residing at 223 Avenue A East: Altswager, Frederick, Head, age 57, born Wisconsin, father born Germany, mother born Germany, occupation County Auditor Dora, Wife, age 45 [sic], born Indiana, father born Ohio, mother born Indiana Metzer, Mildred, sister-in-law, age 25 Metzer, Grace, sister-in-law, age 23
