Charles Sweeney, b. PA, 31, first marr 5 yrs, laborer coal mine. Catherine E., wife, b. PA, 35, first marr 5 yrs [which doesn't make sense because of Lillie's age and # of children born], gave birth to seven children but only four alive in 1910. Lillie M., b. PA, 14. Edward C., b. PA, 5. Helen R., b. PA, 4. Charles died after the 1910 and before the 1920 Census. In 1920 Catharine and children were living in Pottsville Ward 1. Catharine Sweeney, widow, b. PA, 45, washer woman home & out. Edward, b. PA, 14, newsboy on street. Helen, b. PA, 13. Mary, b. PA, 7. I found a family tree on www.ancestry.com for Edward Sweeney. I've asked the owner to contact you. On the tree it says he died in Portland, OR but no other info. They don't have anything about him living in Spokane and marrying.
