Pat, My mistake - you are right! Alonzo and Elsie Williams are still in Weiser, ID in 1920. 1910 Weiser, Washington Co., ID, WILLIAMS, Alonzo C. 49, m. 19, b. ILL US US, merchant, confectionery Elsie 38, m. 19, 7 children, 4 living, b. ILL US US Alice 18 OR William H. 16 OR Frank 10 MT Fred 6 MT 1920 Weiser, Washington Co., ID, (Weiser City West Precenct) WILLIAMS, A. C. 60 ILL OH ILL occupation - none, 7th St West, Weiser, ID Elsie 48 ILL PA PA Frank 19 MT Fred 16 MT The family moved to Portland, OR soon after 1920(according to a cousin that lived with Grandpa and Grandma Williams at that time). Here is excerts from his letter - " I was six at the time. In 1926, I think it was, we moved onto property in southeast Portland where Grandma Williams, Grandpa Williams (Alonzo), their sons, Uncle Frank and Uncle Fred already lived. My family lived in a tent for a couple years and the Williams lived in what was originally to be a 2 car garage with a kitchen shed attached to it. I remember Grandpa Williams (Alonzo) pretty clearly. He was quite fat and had a bushy moustache, and was generally a grouchy sort of person." End of quote. The sons, Frank 19 yrs old and Fred 16 yrs old at that time, told me they knew nothing about thier father. No help from the other 2 children or thier descendants either. So I assume Grandpa Alonzo was not home much of the time and the sons resented it. This really makes it hard to find Alonzo Carlton Williams today. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Patricia McMackin" <treetracer@comcast.net> To: "Mr. & Mrs. Wayne Williams" <wws@hctc.com> Sent: Thursday, September 12, 2002 9:57 AM Subject: RE: [WILLIAMS] Bless this Roll Call > Glenna, > > They were still in Idaho for the 1920 census.
