I found something in the folks basement recently:
It is dated the 6th day of June, 1900 and it is the 12th census of the United States.
It was on a disk which records some things the girls (Grandma Icel, Barbara, Betty and Beverly) discovered on one of their family history seeking trips to Portland.
This somewhat changes the information I had entered before about the birth order of the daughters of William and Martha Weakly (here it is spelled Weekley). Also there is some discrepancy with the names of the girls. My sister-in-law Carri said, "Well these Census' were taken by government workers". Anywho... This lists Daisy as the oldest, then Golden (Goldie?), Jannie (Jane?), Mary (Marie?), Sarrah (I asked Grandma about this and she has no idea who it could be), Ice (Icel), and Elsie. Esther had not been born yet.
Wow, though!!! The census was completely handwritten!!
