Hi Jenn, I looked at the 1910 for Ray and it says David Wyatt was a miner. No mention of streets. Did I miss something or did you see it on a previous census? I will look at some more.

David Wyatt, occupation: teamster, General nature of industry: Orr Streets? or Own Streets? Can anyone tell me what Orr Streets or Own Streets means? Perhaps I'm completely misinterpreting the handwriting. Could this be the name of a coal mine in Ray county?

Hi Don, There are two categories that I'm looking at. First is the occupation followed by another column with a descriptive of the occupation. For example, "Salesman" followed by "general store" in the next column or "teamster" followed by "? streets" I'll have to double check my notes. Perhaps I got the name wrong.
