John and Matilda Prior and new born son Charles E. are living in Portsmouth Township, Bay County, MI in 1900. Census shows Matilda was born in Iowa, John and the baby in Michigan. You thought John and Matilda were living in Reece (sic) but if you are looking for information on that town you'll find it's spelled Reese, my home town. There are still Prior's living in the area. By 1910 they've moved to Merritt Township, Bay County, and the oldest is shown as Earhard meaning that the E in Charles E must have stood for Earhardt and he now goes by that name. They have another son Walter F born about 1902 and a daughter Arlen D about 1904. In 1920 they are still in Merritt Township, Charles Earhardt is not in the household, Arlen is now Helen and there are three more daughters, Lura, Celechia, and Francis. Was unable to find Charles E in Michigan in 1920. In 1930 they remain in Merritt Township and only Celica and Francis remain at home. Don't know which of the girls went by Dolly and married a Vanderwall. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, November 25, 2007 6:23 PM Subject: Re: [MI-GENEALOGY] Stinger > Looking for info on Stinger, Prior, Vanderwall in the Saginaw, Bay City > area. > Mary Becker, dob 1844, Alsace Lorraine married Ernhardt Stinger in 1860s. > They had three sons.
