Hi, in the 1900 census in Franklin township is an Angus born Jan 1858, 42, the marital status is weird, not a letter (S,M, or W), brother. He is with a James A. and wife Sarah J. and their 4 children. That is the only one that is close.

Colleen, Thanks. Alicia found him living with his daughter, Laura, in 1920. She was a school teacher as was his youngest child, Mary. I don't have the print-out in front of me but I think I found him in the Hancock 1916 directory on the Finnish site. Where is Franklin Township? Does it show an occupation for James? >Hi, in the 1900 census in Franklin township is an Angus born Jan 1858, 42, >the marital status is weird, not a letter (S,M, or W), brother.
