He was evidently alive in 1900, when Martha’s entry in the census indicated that she had seven children living (though he was not living with his parents).[2] He apparently died by 1910, as Martha then had only six children living,[3] and he was not one of the six on her list of surviving children in 1914.[4] No record of him has been found after 1880, when he lived in his parents' household in Pittsburgh.[5]
