The Walthers are in the 1930 census. In Harrison twp then. Father's name was George. Had a very large family. There were more children after these as Fred (the last one I think) went to Fairmont ahead of me. The family home then was on David Rd west of Far Hills (or before that called Dayton Lebanon Pike). I believe it still stands. I'm not sure which son was Salt's father.

It's in pretty rough shape, but still in our posession - thank god - she donated something a few months back to an hisotrical socirty at the coast in Oregon, before I could copy the family notes off the back - could have killed her! I also got Bertha's death cert. today. Listed her parents as Christian Russow (lots of typos on this thing!) and Mary Jacobson. She was a widow, so William died between 1930 and 1948. She was shipped back for burial in Great Falls, however. I am going to contact the funeral home casue I figure William in there too, then I can get a death date and get his death cert. from the state and this should all lead me back to J.E.D.! Yay!!!
