Notes

  • Althia Keith was born about 1873, in Georgia, probably Whitfield County, where her parents and other family members lived.  Her name is sometimes spelled Althea, and in the 1930 census we find Altha.  In the 1880 census, she was listed by her nickname, Althy.

    1880 Federal Census, Whitfield County, Georgia, 9 June, Finchers (Militia District 1035), District 197, page 13A, Hse #109, Fam #110
    Keith, John B  W M 35 Farmer GA GA SC
    Keith, Mary C  W F 28 Wife Keeping House GA GA SC
    Keith, Althy W F 7  GA GA GA

    In the next available census, Althia is married, also living in Chattanooga where her parents had moved the family and are still living.  She married Charles Byron Kistner in 1898, and they have two sons, David and Charles Byron, Jr, listed here as Byron.  Althia's name here appears to be intended as Althea.  There is no dot, but the next to last letter is not open, looking like an I.

    1900 Federal Census, Hamilton County, Tennessee, 8 June, Chattanooga, District 68, page 13B, 111 East Jefferson St, Hse #306, Fam #364
    Kistner, Charles Head W M  Dec 1866  33 Married 11 yrs  TN Germany GA Car Inspector (Railroad)
    Kistner, Althea  Wife W F  Sept 1873  26 married 11 years  GA GA GA
    Kistner, David  Son W M  Aug 1899 10 TN TN GA At School
    Kistner, Byron  Son W M  Jan 1892 10 TN TN GA

    Note that the boys' mother's birthplace is given as Tennessee, even though Althia's record gives her birth place as Georgia.

    In 1910, they have now moved to Georgia, and are living in Atlanta.

    1910 Federal Census, Fulton County, Georgia, 18 April, Atlanta Ward 9, District 139, page 8A, 1016 Avenue DeKalb, Hse#124, Fam #165
    Kistner, C B  Head  M W 43  Married at age 21 TN Germany GA Inspector, Georgia Terminal Yard (Railroad)
    Kistner, A  Wife F W 37 Married at age 21 GA GA GA No Occupation
    Kistner, David H  Son M W 20 GA GA GA Bookkeeper, Drugstore
    Kistner, C B Jr  Son M W 18 TN TN GA Bookkeeper, Market

    Note the difference in birthplace reports on the sons now.  The eldest David is reported as born in Georgia, and his father also in Georgia, which is different from 1900, and fails to match the change in his father's report this year.

    C B Jr, however, is reported as born in Tennessee, and his father likewise.  This matches his report in the 1900 census, which also fails to match his mother's birthplace.

    In 1920 the family is still in Atlanta.

    1920 Federal Census, Fulton County, Georgia, 6 January, Atlanta, District 139, page 8A, Hse#124, Fam #166
    Kistner, Charles B  Head  M W 54  TN Germany TN Trader, Real Estate
    Kistner, Althia  Wife F W 47 GA GA GA No Occupation
    Kistner, Charles B  Boarder M W 27 TN TN GA Retail Merchant, Meat Market
    Kistner, Lawria B (?)  Boarder F W 30 GA GA GA

    Birthplace of Charles' mother is reported now as Tennessee instead of Georgia.  I find it odd that son Charles Jr is listed as a Boarder, as is his apparent wife, Lawria (Laura?).

    In 1930, we find them in Whitfield County, Georgia.

    1930 Federal Census, Whitfield County, Georgia, 23 April, Militia District 631 (9th District), District 5, page 8A, Off Cedar Valley Rd, Hse#158, Fam #169
    Kistner, Charlie B  Head  Owns House M W 63  First married at age 22 TN Germany GA Merchant, General Merchandise
    Kistner, Altha F  Wife F W 57 Married at age 16 GA GA GA No Occupation

    From this record, we learn that Althia's middle initial is F.  The birthplace of Charles' mother here changes from Tennessee to Georgia, as in 1900 and 1910.
