I wasn't able to locate the Theodore Freshour family in the 1920 census so there may
very well be other children for him and Ruth. There is a marriage record in Tippecanoe
Co. for an Irene Freshour. Her birthdate is listed as Sept. 8, 1905. She was not listed
in the Theodore Freshour household in 1910 so not sure if she is a sibling of
Elizabeth's. Hope this info is helpful. Karen
