>Randy Crouse McNew" <[email protected]> >Sent: Sunday, June 19, 2005 1:52 AM I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who occasionally sits up to all hours of the night perusing census data etc... :) Another curious note on the 1900-Census-Lucy mystery: The enumerator was Stanton Richard "Dick" West. who was married to Mildred Ann "Minnie" Taylor. Dick's sister-in-law Emma Taylor was married to Lucy Ann's brother, John Robert Martin. So this was "family" he was recording for the census. It seems like he would know whether Lucy was really dead or not.
