NOTE - The informant was "Binnie M. Ryan". Maybe this was a daughter; he was a widower so his wife was already dead.

The 1900 US Census showed that he was still single and living at home with his parents. Yet, when he died in 1910 the death certificate says he was a widower. What happened during those last 10 years of his life --- did he finally get married at around age 47, perhaps father one daughter, have his wife die, and then he died? Or is the death certificate wrong about his marital status. I can find no marriage record and so far have not located him in the 1910 US Census.
