Notes
- Jack Dempsey married in about 1880. It oweuld have been after the census that year, since he wsa reported as single in his father's household. There are some indications that his wife was named Middleton. But one undocumented genealogy names her Emma Vanderford. Jack may have been married twice. Many people in this era lost spouses. In 1910 Jack Dempsey and his family are living on the White River. Everyone in this division of Prairie Township are fishermen.
Note that both Andy Middleton and Jackson Dempsie are both reported as Head of this household and owners of their home. For some odd reason, the enumerator has recorded no first name for the Jack's wife or his two daughters. No firm documentation has been found for Jack's wife, not even a marriage record, but there are some indications that she was a Middleton. That matches their residential situation in 1910, being resident in the household of one Andy Middleton. Andy is reported as a 50-year-old widower. He is likely the brother odf Jack's wife.
