    After Dana May's death, James was enumerated in 1920 with two young daughters in the household.

    1920 Federal Census, Christian County, Illinois, 27 January, Taylorsville Township, District 29, page 19B, Hse #239, Fam #246

    In 1940, James' daughter Bertha is in his household, but her marital status is unclear.

    1940 Federal Census, Christian County, Illinois, 15 April, Hewittville, Taylorsville Township, District 11-40, page 13B, Hse #289 Owns, $300

    Grose, Maud Dau F W 22 M (M for married marked out, then number 7 written, no husband reported in the household) Grade 8 b Illinois same house in 1935 [b abt 1918]

    The marital status of Bertha was first reported as M (married), but then the M was crossed out and what looks like a number 7 written beside it.  The same happend with the single female head of household next door to them also.  It is not known what the 7 indicates.
