All I know is from the 1930 Census which you have probably already seen. According to the
census taken on May 2,1930, at that time they lived in Van Buran Township which is farm
area northeast of Brazil, IN. It lists Dorothy as being 6 years old and born in Illinois;
her birth parents were also both born in Illinois. Mary E. was also born in
Illinois.....is that possibly their connection to Dorothy?
A nephew Herbert, (age 17) and sister, Leona (age 21) of David & Mary E also lived in
the household at the time of the census. They were both single. Leona was born in W.
Virginia and Herbert was born in Illinois. He was a farm hand....possibly for David who
was a farmer. David was a veteran.
Possibly more info could be found through the Clay Co. Historical Society.......which is
an excellent source. Let me know if I can help you with that. My family moved to Brazil,
IN in 1910 and the last family member died there last year at the age of 94. I was born
there.
