    There was a seocnd 1910 enumeration of this family.  They were both on the same day, and include al lthe same peoel.  I dno't know hwo this would have happened.  tehse counties are a long way apart.  I suspect Ida was in one probably with younger children, and some of the chidlren, probably the older ones, were in the other, and all were reported to both enumerators.  In the Yavapai County enumeration, the oldest son's name looks like Ewert or maybe Ernest as Ancestry interpreted it.  (The number of loops are the same for both those names.)

    Terry, Ida M Head F W 34 Married 13 years 6 children/6 living TX TX TX No Occupation
    Terry, Ewert Son M W 12 TX GA TX

    In the WWI draft registration, the name entry and his signature look like Ewart, more than Evert or Evart as it has appeared to me in the censuses except Yavapai 1910.  The genealogies I have seen all follow Ancestry in reporting this name as Ewert (or Ewart).  Perhaps this was his name.

    The Wells Gazette above reports that Ewart died about July 1930.  In the 1940 census, we find his wife Doris remarreid to a widower named Kent.  Her two children Forest and Barbara are in the household.  Her son Forest Allen is given the middle name of Ernest here.
