Russel J. Hercules Family - 1920 Wayne Co., IN

Today I sourced the census data for the 1920 census of Wayne Co., IN and the Russel J. Hercules family. Russel - I have it with two 'l's' - was married to Bertha Alberta LeMaster on June 10, 1911 in Jay Co., IN; she was my paternal great aunt.

Besides Russell's spelling of his name, there was also the interesting fact that his wife, Bertha Alberta, was listed a Martha in the census. Now it could just be that an error was made, as they did also have a daughter named Martha. This wouldn't have been the first time a census taker made an error. Perhaps she went by Martha, I just don't know. Russell was listed as a woodworker in a furniture factory; along with son Murrel and daughter Martha I. Hercules.

Russell J. HERCULES b. January 28, 1890 Burkettsville, OH, d. April 30, 1966 Richmond, IN., m. June 10, 1911 in Jay Co., IN to Bertha Alberta LeMASTER, daughter of Luman Cooper and Barbara Isabelle (WEHRLY) LeMASTER. Bertha b. June 26, 1892 Jay Co., IN; d. December 13, 1961 Richmond, IN.

Mary Hicks household - 1900 Madison Co., IN

Today I sourced the Mary Hicks household in the 1900 census of Madison Co., IN in the town of Orestes. Mary Jane King was my 2nd-great grandaunt, the daughter of Daniel and Elizabeth (Shaw) King.

Mary Jane was the widow of Leroy Young, and had apparently married to someone named Hicks between 1893 when Leroy died and the 1900 census. Mary was listed as the head of household in the 1900 census, living next door to her son Daniel Young, as well as other relatives (King, Etchison, etc.). Mary was the mother of 3 children with only 2 living by the 1900 census.

Mary Jane KING b. December 8, 1849 (or May 1849) Orestes, Madison Co., IN, d. April 4, 1935 Orestes, Madison Co., IN, m(1) February 8, 1871 Leroy YOUNG, son of William and Jane (________) YOUNG; m(2) _____ HICKS between 1893-1900. Leroy YOUNG b. November 14, 1843 Indiana, d. March 26, 1893 Orestes, Madison Co., IN.

Children of Leroy and Mary Jane (King) Young are as follows :
i. Daniel Robert Young b. July 1, 1872 Orestes, d. February 20, 1947 Orestes, m. Gertrude Johnson
ii. Samuel D. Young b. March 1878, d. 1954, m. Lulu M. Vinson
iii. ______ Young b. & d. unknown (lists 3 children on 1900 census)

Ida D. Hancock - "Door of Hope" - Indianapolis, IN

Today I sourced a census record for Ida D. Hancock in the 1900 census of Marion Co., IN that fits with the profile of my great grandmother. Ida was living at the "Door of Hope" mission on Alabama Street in Indianapolis. Further research on the web indicates that the "Door of Hope" was a mission and home for unwed mothers on 132 N. Alabama St.

The listing shows Ida D. Hancock, born May 1874, aged 26, widowed with 2 children living. This matches the information I have for my great-grandmother Ida. Ida was born in 1874, probably in Owen Co., IN. She married Samuel Hancock on August 27, 1892 in Monroe Co., IN and they had filed for divorce in May 1894 because she claimed he had abandoned her. In the 1898 city directory of Indianapolis, I did find Ida Davis living at 606 1/2 E. Wabash St. Ida's daughter, June, was born June 11, 1898 in Indianapolis.

So far the information fits for what I do know about Ida. I have found no other record for her in the 1900 census under any other names where she may have been living.
