(nine months), and a maid servant named Lizzie E. Clinedinst (19).^[37]

The household relocated to nearby York Township before 1900, when it included F. P. (age 53, miller) and Clayanna J. Deats [sic] (48, mother of nine, six living) and their children Mary Magdalena (28, servant), Harry S. (21, day laborer), Morris Alvin (13), Ameda F.
