Notes
- I have a memory, and my notes of a family conversation at some time (place or date uncertain), that Aunt Ouida's married name was Hill. I had no information on the name of her husband from our Terry family background. I found reference to this family in the censuses of 1920 and 1930.
In 1920, Edward and wife Ouida are in Fort Benning, Georgia, where heis a Sergeant in the US Army, during WWI. After the war they moved back to Oklahoma, where they are living in Hope Township of Stephens County (Marlow county seat) for the 1930 census.
The age reported does not match from 1920 to 1930 censuses. In 1920,Edward is 21 years old, a year older than his wife Ouida. This seemsto fit. In 1930, the recorded age is 35, while Ouida is 30. I am following the age in the 1920 census, yielding a birth year of 1899.
The 1900 census reporets his birth date as June 1898. The Social Security Death Index agrees with this and provides the exact day. We also learn here that Edward moved to Arizona at an age before he began working, sicne his Social Security number was issued inArizona. But hereturned to his home state at some time before his death.
Edward Hill, Born: 12 Jun 1898, Died: Sep 1980, Last Residence: Marlow, Stephens, Oklahoma 73055; SSN 526-10-9137 issued Arizona (Before 1951)
