Daniel Lewis household - Huntington Co., IN
The Daniel LEWIS family was enumerated in the 1900 and 1910 census of Salamonie Twp., Huntington Co., IN. Daniel was Eileen's maternal 2nd-great granduncle, the son of Solomon and Margaret (RHINEHART) LEWIS.
Daniel's occupation was not given in the 1900 census, in fact, it was listed as "N.G.". In the 1910 census, his occupation was listed as "own income." In both census records, it was stated that he could not read, but could write. His wife, Alpha M., could both read and write. Daniel's parents were listed as both being born in Ohio, while Alpha's father was born in Ohio and her mother in Indiana.
In the 1900 census, their 14 year old daughter, Lena M. was listed with the family. She was attending school. By the 1910 census she was no longer living in the household. I do not yet have any record of a marriage for her.

Amberson G. Lewis family - Huntington & Wabash Cos., Indiana
Amberson G. LEWIS and family are enumerated in the 1910 census of Dallas Twp., Huntington Co., IN and the 1920 census of Wabash, Wabash Co., IN. Amberson was Eileen's maternal great-granduncle, the son of Jacob and Marietta (COOK) LEWIS.
Amberson was a factory worker in both census records, in the 1920 census he was listed as a machinist. Wife Mona was the mother of two children in1910, both living, and they had been married for 7 years. I have their marriage in my database as 1922, but I imagine that is a typographical error and it should be 1902. Right now, I have no source for the marriage date. Both Mona and Amberson's parents are listed as being born in Indiana, although in the 1920 census, Amberson stated that his father was born in the 'United States'.
In the 1920 census, son Paul was no longer a student, but had gone to work in a factory at age 16. His brother, Kenneth, was still a student.
