Shows residence as Calumet Township, Lake, Indiana. Calumet Township is one of eleven townships in Lake County, Indiana. As of the 2010 census, its population was 104,258. It includes the city of Gary and the town of Griffith. This census, taken 16 Jun 1900, shows him still living. 1920 Census shows his wife widowed. This is the basis for his presumed place of death (uncertain).
