The one-year discrepency in her date of birth is noted. The date shown, 16 August, is the same shown by Keith McGuire and George Benson Kuykendall. Only the year, 1899 vs. 1900, is different.

Notes:

At the time of the 1900 census, he and Alice were living in Olivet, Kansas, with children Ethel, Hazel, Vernon, Lola and Olive. They had moved to Crawford Township, Kansas, prior to the 1910 census. The older children were all still at home, along with the younger Alice, Maude, George and Charles.

In 1920, they were in Wyoming. George was listed as a Laborer, General Farm. Seven of their twelve children were still at home: Vernon (23), Stella (17), Zelma (14), George (11), Charles (9), Loren (6), and Fern (4). Their eldest daughter, Ethel, was living next door.

In 1930, he was not listed in their home in Wilson County, Kansas. Orinda was shown as the head of household. Even though George was not present, she was shown as Married, and listed the age of her marriage as 16. Only her children Maude (24), Clinton (22), and Loren (16) were still living at home. She and her son Clinton were listed as being engaged in Farming.

George married Orinda Alice Cowdrey on 18 Sep 1888 in Lyndon, Osage County, Kansas. Orinda was born in Jan 1872 in Kansas; died after 1930. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

The 1885 Kansas State Census, for Olivet, Osage County, Kansas, shows that Loren C. and B A E?? Cowdrey were the heads of a household of eight people in total, which included a 12 year old daughter with the initials of O A Cowdrey. Loren was a farmer, and was born in Ohio with his wife being born in Indiana. This is likely Alice's family. A marriage record shows that Loren G. COWDRY married Barbary E FRIEND in Mar 1861 in Clinton County, Indiana. Also, Loren's widow, Barbary A E Cowdrey filed for a Civil War Pension in Missouri, based on the service of her husband for the 86 Indiana Infantry. The Widow's pension number was 915267, certificate number 680310, State Filed, Missouri. It appears that Loren has earlier filed for an Invalid Pension, application number 59361, certificate number 46137.

On the 1900 Census, Alice was shown as the mother of 5 children, all living. By 1910, the number had risen to 10 total children, nine still living. All nine were living at home.
