    1930 Federal Census, Arkansas County, Arkansas, 23 April, Prairie Township, District 25, page 7B, Ethel and Chute Rd, Hse #131, Fam #132
    McSwain, Wiley C Head Owns M W 52 Widowed AR NC NC Farmer
    McSwain, Bernice J Dau F W 10 Single AR AR OK

    Bernice marrired Bedford Rowland.  IN the 1940 census, they are living in the second house from her father Wiley Carew McSwain.

    1940 Federal Census, Arkansas County, Arkansas, 4 April, Ethel, District 1-26, page 6A, Belleview Rd, Hse #91, Rents $2
    Rowland, Bedford Head M W 21 Grade HS-1 b Arkansas same house in 1935 Farmer
    Rowland, Bernice Wife F W 20 Grade HS-1 b Arkansas same place in 1935 Housekeeper

    In 1940 it appears that Bedford and Bernice have been married about 1 year or less.  And the report on location in 1935 says Rowland lived in the same place, and the same for Bernice, even though we know they were married only in 1938.   Thus the enumerator must have meant to indicate Ethel, but not in this house.  They are living in the second house from her father Wiley Carew McSwain.

    Bernice's headstone for the grave had not yet been updated with her death date when it was photographed by Edith McSwain Jenkins in June 2003.
