1930
U. S. Census, Monroe Township, Guilford County, North Carolina,
ED72 Sheet 16B, 22 April 1930, family 92 This was obviously one very confused census taker. I believe the 60 year old widow was Minnie, the mother of Dorthula, so that should read: "Minnie, mother-in-law, F Neg 60, first married at 21." Dort may be Dorothy(?) either a cousin or a sister of Dorthula. Dorthula should read: "Dorthula, Wife, F Neg 25, 1st married at 17." That leaves the question, who was the 56 year old married female, 1st married at 42? |
