Surnames: Roper, Clark Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/kgDBAEB/727.1 Message Board Post: Stewart Davidson ROPER (b 18 May 1885 - Wood, OH, d 12 Apr 1922 - Panama), whose obituary appears above, must be distinguished from Stewart ROPER (b 08 or 18 Feb 1892 or 1893 - OH), son of Horace ROPER and Lucy CLARK. Secondary source records for Stewart ROPER have his date of birth as 08 Feb 1893. But an Index of WWI Draft registrations shows the date as 18 Feb 1892. The 1900 Census shows this Stewart ROPER as Age 7 at the enumeration date of 22 Jun 1900 with month and year of birth given as "Feb 1893". Stewart ROPER was residing with parents Horace ROPER, age 32, born Aug 1867, and Lucy ROPER, age 32, born Nov 1868, and sisters Hazel, age 8, born Jul 1891, and Christina, age 7/12?, born Oct 1900??. This afamily was then residing in Chardon, Geauga County, Ohio. Stewart ROPER, age 17, was residing with his parents, Horace ROPER, age 49, and Lucy ROPER, age 43, and brother Gaylord, age 7, in Ward 4, Warren, Trumbull County, Ohio, in 1910. Horace and Lucy Clark ROPER are shown to have been married for 28 years (~ 1882). Lucy is shown to have had fourteen (14) children, of whom only 3 are living. Horace and Lucia Clark ROPER were residing in Painesville, Lake County, Ohio, at the date of the 1920 Census enumeration. Horace is then (19-20 Mar 1920) shown to be age 57, with Lucia shown to be age 52. SOns Gaylord, age 18, and Clifford, age 4, are shown to reside in this household. Stewart ROPER has left the nest. This Setwart ROPER registered for the draft at Potter County, South Dakota. I have been unable to locate this Stewart ROPER in the 1920 or 1930 Census enumerations.
