Boy, this sure is getting exciting! 1. I'm still convinced that the Mabel Tyler working as a servant in 1900 is the Mabel who married Depuy Teeple. I don't see any reason why she couldn't be an older sister. That's easily checked through their marriage license, if they married in Wayne County. 2. There are more Tyler children turning up that we need. Since she had only had seven children in total (six living) by 1910, only seven at the most need to be accounted for in 1900. The ones I turned up last night were Frank (12), adopted; Mabel, 17, working as a servant in Damascus Twp.; Inez, 11, living with the Levi Teeple family (she is described as "daughter" with "step" added; Lela, 17, servant in Oregon Twp., Levinna, 19, servant in Honesdale...plus of course Roscoe and Verne. Yes, she must have farmed out all of her children...but where is she in 1900? I guess Frank Cole would only let her bring the youngest with her when they married. We're all spending a lot of time on a family that doesn't seem to be related to any of us, but it's a good exercise. Next time I'm at WCHS I'll look for the marriage licenses of Clara and Frank and Mabel and Depuy. It should confirm Mabel's maiden name and maybe the death date of Clara's first husband. There's a possibility that Clara was working elsewhere in 1900 - or maybe she was in jail! Stranger things have happened. Another thing may be significant...with all the Tylers living in Wayne County, none of the children was taken in by a Tyler. Ann
