  The census reports Frank as married 34 years, but there is no wifereported in the household.  I have not yet found the family in 1910.It is possible that L A has died.  There is another child James H bornafter that time, with a birth date from his gravestone of 16 April1911.  So I need the 1910 census to see if Frank was still married toL A or another wife, or listed as a widow.

  Huldah will marry Harvey Williams in about three years.  In 1910, theyare married with two children, the oldest of whom is 6. In 1900 theyare living fairly close together, with Huldah still at home with herfather and younger brother, and Harvey is a boarder in the householdof Frank's sister Elizabeth (Eliza Price), who is already a widow.
  
  In the 1910 census for Prairie Township, Fannie's father FrankNicholson is living next door to his daughter Fannie (FrancesElizabeth) and her husband Bert (Wilbert Silas) Rownd.  He is awidower and has several boarders in his house, so appears to berunning a boarding house.  Frank has two cooks, a mother and daughternamed Thompson, and two younger Thompson children.  Three farm workersare in the household.  Though their relationship to Frank is listed as"Hired Man," they appear to working for other farmers.  Theiroccupation is "Farm Laborer, Working Out."
