I particularly want to know where Samuel was in 1930 (living with a family member in Omaha, living alone, etc). He was born 20 Mar 1880 and died 26 May 1934 in Omaha, Nebraska. He was my husband's Grandfather. His wife was Bertha Alma Nichols (who died in 1926). Their children were Winfield Dearborn Purchase, b. 1912; (Samuel) "James" Purchase, b. 1915; Ruth Ellen Purchase, b. 1918, married to Adams and Tatreau; and Bertha ("Betty") Purchase, b. 1919. Samuel worked at The Union Tea Company in Omaha. He used to be like a Watkins man, selling products, going door to door -- only in his time he went from farm to farm in a buckboard. Thanks for anything that anyone can do. I would deeply appreciate any information or leads.
