Leta Trombly - Miller 4/10/07
Leta,
I looked at the 1900 again & your grandfather is listed with the Trombleys then. His name is given as Pearl,son, age 7. Edgar is listed as being born in 1859 on the index but when I look at the actual page it says Feb. 1857, although it`s so faded the 7 could be mistaken for a 9. The 1900 census is the only one to give the month & yer of birth. The others just give the person`s age. I then looked for Perley or Pearl on the 1910 census & there he was on the same page as Edgar & Carrie but living with the George Baker family as a boarder. Pearl`s occ. is listed as farm labor which may be why he was living with the Bakers; he probably worked on their farm.
