After a lot of research, I found that the family moved to Steubenville, Ohio after Paul's death.They were living there when Herbie drowned in 1915, then the mother (Lula) died in 1918.I found copies of both death certificates on line.
After Lula's death, the three yougest boys were put in an
orphanage in Wellsville, Ohio.

According to the 1900 census,
Alvin & Lula had been married 4 years,
Lula stated she had 3 children
2 children were still living.
One was Paul, who is in the census.
The other, possibly Ruth, who was
born in June 1900
Aunt Ruth told me once that there was
