Williams Bruce R., son, born Jun 1883, 16, born MI, father born PA, mother born MI. Allen Mary H. housekeeper, born Dec 1855, 44, widow. Could not locate them in 1910. 1920 finds in Clare Co, Harrison City: Williams, Albert age 68, born PA, carpenter. Bessie age 26, born MI. Clara age 8, born MI. Eugene age 7, born MI. Helen age 5, born MI. Bessie J. 3-11/12, born MI. Chris M. 1-5/12, born MI. Hope this helps you!!
