NOTE - William and Clyde Rundle were actually the sons of Helen's sister, Alma. It is known that Alma and her husband were divorced between 1900 and 1920 so perhaps the two boys just moved out on their own with the help of their aunt, Helen McClure, and her family. I'm surprised that William Rundle was listed as the head of the household instead of the elderly Thomas McClure. In 1920, Alma who was still divorced ends up living with Thomas and Helen McClure.
