NOTE - On this 1900 census, Elizabeth who was widowed, indicated that she had a total of 8 children and only 2 were still living but that information is not correct. In addition to the 2 children that were living with her at the time, her daughter Anna who had been married 7 years earlier was still alive. I am unsure of what other children were probably alive as I am still researching their names.
