  In the 1900 census a couple of doors down form Robert and Mabel is a Jackson family that appears to be her parents and siblings.  The first entry of the children originally had been Jackson, Mabel C.  But then there is a write-over and the designation daughter is written over as Son, and the F changed to M for gender.  It appears that when the enumerator asked for the name of their eldest child, the parents mentioned their daughter Mabel, and the enumerator had already written her name before they finished explaining that she had just been married and had moved out.  Instead of crossing out the entry, the enumerator wrote over the name making it almost illegible.
  
  But one can just make out the overwritten name as something like Ernest E.  The enumerator had not yet written in the birth date, so the date is readable as Ernest's birth date of 1884.  Since a couple of entries below in her record Mabel reports her birth date as October 1880, this confirms the birth order and supports the scenario based on the confused and corrected record for Ernest ( or similar name) for her brother, born 4 years later.  Another thing I note in the two census reports here is that Mabel reports the birth states of her parents reversed from what they do.  In the 1910 census, she reports them both born in Michigan.

  I notice there are no Haney children in the household.  One or more genealogies report, apparently from family information, that Mabel had three children while married to Robert Haney, the last being born in 1905, the year he died.  Where are these children?  But I notice that one of the daughters died in Camden, where both Mabel and her second husband Joe Parker lived and were buried.  But in the 1920 census, Eloise and Bobbie Mae are in the Parker household.  it appears that Lorene died young.
