There are 4 children listed and 1 stepson ~~~~~ I don't find him in 1910 census under Asa Hurst. I have run out of time. At least you know, Fern above should be the daughter of Asa. If his parents were deceased and siblings separated, it could explain why she didn't have information about his family.
