Notes

  • The Ancestry.com transcription of this child's name is wrong, transcribing Audine for an admittedly messy writing of Audrey.  But Audrey is still clearly discernible.

    Audrey's age in 1930 is 4 years 7 months.  The 1930 census was taken in April, so we can figure to the month for the birth date of Audrey.  This would seem to make her birth date September 1925.

    The family was living in Prairie Township, which is still the name of the township.  The town (post office) center of that area is Ethel, which may not have been established at that time.  Everybody in the area will say they live in Ethel, or the Ethel area.  It is not known if the children of this family were born at home, or in the county seat, DeWitt, about 10 miles away.
