Today I finished sourcing the census records of the Lawrence Delbert Jackson family in the 1900-1920 census of Jay Co., IN. Lawrence married my paternal great-grandaunt, Minerva Prudence Wehrly.
Lawrence was a painter and mail carrier who lived in the 4th ward of Portland, IN. Lawrence and Minerva had 9 children, one of whom died young per 1900 census records. My notes say that they were married in October of 1885, probably in Jay County as well.
