[snip] Ruth: My great-great-grandfather Oliver MARTIN was a head of household in the 9 June 1900 census taken in Mount Holly, a blacksmith, [up until today I thought] probably working from a shop in his mortgaged house on the Hortonville Road, age 62. My great-grandfather William Henry MARTIN lived in the same house, with his wife, and also worked as a blacksmith. I may have to revisit the idea that the shop was in the house on Hortonville Road. Fun, seeing an ancestor "in the papers", thanks! Darrell
