Notes
- The first evidence of this man's surname (besides some genealogies that give Harriett's name with no documentation) is in the census of 1900 in the name of his two daughters.
In 1900 Harriett and her sister Pearl are reported as stepchildren in the home of widow Emma Hicks, with Emma's two Hicks children. To account for the relationships and ages, with the last names reported, Emma's recently deceased husband was Mr Ealand the two girls' father by Mr Ealand's first wife. It would appear he died, and Emma married Mr Hicks, then he died after July 1899, when the last child Florence was reported born.
In what appears to be an enumerator error, Harriett E is reported as a Son and Male, even though she matches Harriett Fowler in 1910, the wife of Charles B Fowler, whose sister Pearl is int he same household married to Charlie's brother.
Some additional troublesome discrepancies, the Ealand girls' father is reported as born in Texas, while the Hicks children's father is reported as born in England. An interesting highlight appears in the 1910 census, where we see that both Harriet's and Pearl's father is also reported as born in England. This would not match the different last names but might indicate some other close relationship among the families. If this all was not so much fun, one might get frustrated and discouraged!

I found an entry that appears to be for him under the name of Arthur Ealand, in San Antonio's City Directory for 1892. No wife is reported for him (and minor children are not usually reported in these directories), so it appears from this that Mrs Ealand died between the birht of Harriett in Dec 1890 and early 1892 when the directory was being compiled. He is the only Ealand in the book.

A couple of genealogies report that Harriet and Perl's father lived until 1930. that Arthur Ealand is buried in the Gause, Texas, cemetery and details are memorialized in a Find a Grave memorial.
