I'm not researching this family either. I looked at the 1910 Census, Kosciusko Co.,
Wayne Township and found
RICHTER, "Osker" 36 M1 8 yrs. cigar maker
Carie 35 M1 3 and 3
Thurlow 7
Forest E. 2
Margaret L. 2/12
Address is 414 W. Perry St.
Neighbors at 427 W. Perry are
BARR, Melvin cigars mfg.
wife, "Cora"
So I presume that they knew each other both as neighbors and Melvin was perhaps the
employer of Oscar
Oscar died and I'm just guessing that his wife had also passed away before 1920. The
children were split among other families.
In 1920, Wayne Twp.
Forest Richter age 12 is with Chester and Ida Shaeffer (no relationship given).
The Kos. Co. births compiled by WPA list Oscar's wife 3 different ways.
Richter, Forest E, 16 Nov 1907, Osker, Coria E Jones
Richter, Margaret Louise, 16 Feb 1910, Osker, Cora Jones
Richter, ________.4 Oct 1902, Oscar, Carrie E Jones
The unnamed child born in Oct.. 1902 must have been Thurlow shown on the 1910 census.
If you go to the county web site
http://www.ingenweb.org/inkosciusko/
you can do a surname search and it will show every time Richter appears in their extensive
online records.
