Cens-190015 Jun 1900  George served as the head of the family following the death of his parents. At the turn of the century he was enumerated as such, with his sisters Laura (36) and Blanche (32) living in the same household. Also present was their 80 year old aunt, Mary Benham. George's entry noted that the farm on which they lived was owned by them and was not mortgaged. The location was clarified as the "Meadow View Precinct."5 
  This may suggest they lived south of Meadowview in the area once known as Cedarville (described as their parent's place of residence in 1850 birth/death records for siblings).
