Citing this Record
"Michigan, Marriages, 1822-1995," index, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/FCCJ-S9N : accessed 23 Oct 2012), William O. Savage and Virginia M. Sperry, 13 Feb 1887.
-----------------------
Neither William, Virginia, nor their two children are found in the 1910 US Census. The 1920 US Census shows the couple living in California and there is another census record for one of their sons who is married, also living in California, and has a son of his own who was born in 1919 in California. So sometime between 1900 and 1919, they must made the move from Michigan to the Los Angeles area in California. There is no record of the oldest son, Walter, other than the 1900 US Census in Michigan.
