In 1930, there were still six children living with Bill Caldwell
on the family farm in Caldwell Township in Catawba County, NC.
Bill's age was 58 and the family home was $2500. The
Census shows that he was 24 years old when he married Mary
Elizabeth Crouse. The children still living at home were
Maudie (age 24), Tiny (age 22), Mary (age 19), Rhoda (age 18),
Lillie (age 15) and Frank (age 13). Lillie and Frank were
still attending school. |
|
This Census says that the data was collected on 25 Apr 1930 -
but that must have been when the Census Taker completed their
job of collecting data. Bill's daughter Tinie/Tiny
Elizabeth Caldwell died on 14 Apr 1930 - more than likely just
days after the Census Taker was at the Caldwell home. All
of the older children were working on the family farm except for
Tiny - indicating that she may have been sick at the time. |
