William A. Decker..SSon..13..IL..Farm Laborer

NOTE - William was Emily's son from her first marriage to David Decker. The relationship of "Step-Son" could be wrong; James either adopted William as his "Adopted Son" with the surname of Atteberry or else he would be a "Step-Son" with his original surname of Decker. Strangely, the name Decker was first written in by the enumerator and then scratched out.
