No more info is currently available for Mathias Zeller. Can you add to his biography?
Mathias first appears in the 1900 Federal Census Population Schedule. He is in the Frank Zeller household in Hammond, Lake County, Indiana. [2]This was sheet 6B in Enumeration District 36. I assume that there was a bit of language difficulty between the census enumerator and my Grandmother, for Mathias appears as Mattie, a three-year old girl, and his younger brother Aloysius as one-year old Eloise.
In the 1910 Census, the location is the same, but the ED is 67, and the sheet is 8A. Aloysius' name is still a hurdle, and baby Joseph is labeled a girl.[3]
Mathias appears in the 1940 Federal Census Population Schedule. He is listed in the Mathias Zeller household in Springfield township, La Porte county, Indiana. This is on lines 4-8 of page 344, E. D. 46-63B.[4]
