Thank you for replying and for looking up census information on the Steppe family. I knew the Steppe family was an old Cumberland family but had not really researched them past Harman. My kinship is with his wife's family. I have been so disappointed with the abbreviated obituaries on members of my family between 1910-1950. 909 Maryland Ave is where Ida Belle Gordon Steppe was living when she died. My best bet is that Louise married between Harman's death in 1937 and Ida's death in 1950. I am taking advantage of a volunteer at SS Peter and Paul Cath. Ch. to research through their records for members of this family. I have attempted to get into my local LDS FHC some Cumberland directories. Unfortunately they must be a popular item as my order has been delayed as new copies must be made of these films and that involves a request from the vault at Salt Lake. There doesn't seem to be any other records I could access from the LDS FHC library on loan that applies to this timeperiod. I'd welcome suggestions. I do appreciate all the listers who have tried to help.

She is listed as single. In 1920, Harman's sisters Louise & Kate/Catherine are living with Harman & Ida and none of their children are living at home. I haven't found Louise yet. In 1910 & 1900, Louise is listed with her parents. From 1900 to 1920, they lived at 293 Maryland Ave. In 1930 they are living at 909 Maryland Ave. Apparently, she married after the 1930 census. Have you traced Harman's family back?? I found them in Cumberland in 1860.
