Diana, Thank you so much for looking in the c.d. for Signor and Mitchell plus the census. I do have the 1910 census which lists Harry as residing on Market St. as a boarder - occupation "moulder". (That relates to my earlier msg about iron works.) He must have been missed in the city directory. I may have a clue, however, as on some old family notes is written "he saw Curtis fly in his machine from water". This relates to Glen Curtis, father of aviation I believe) who had a flying machine (boat) which he flew from the lake in PA. Is the Lake in Crawford County? I'll bet this relative saw Curtis and decided to learn to fly. Perhaps even did some barnstorming himself. Wonder if the Historical Society has the stories of Glen Curtis and his flying machine? It could account for the missing years prior to residing in Erie. He signed his WWI draft papers from Pleasant St. Erie. I have the 1920 census and some c.d.information from 1920 though 1926. When you go to Erie on the 23rd, IF you have time I would appreciate a look-up for the 1916-1920 city direct. for Addie Mitchell. Please let me know what I can do for you. I do have access to the 1910 census through my local library. Mary
I will check to see what we have at the Historical Society on Thursday.
