1910 Massachusetts not yet indexed. Need to try to find him in both Essex and Suffolk Co, Mass in 1910.

A lookup volunteer checked the 1912 and 1916 City Directories for Chelsea, but was not able to find either Edwin or Janet Poole listed.

I was not able to find either Edwin or Janet Poole in the 1920 Mass soundex. Could they already have moved from Mass and be in transit?

Jake Schopf writes that "Edwin was an adventurer. He homesteaded north of Edmondton, Alberta. He did some oil exploration. He signed up for the Canadian Expeditionary Forces and fought in World War I. He received a medal for bravery. He was never able to settle down long enough to enjoy the benefits of his investments. He played the concertina well."

Edwin married Janet Agnes White on 15 Dec 1888 in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada. Janet (daughter of Leslie White, Sr. and Elizabeth McFadden) was born on 10 Jun 1860 in Portland, St. John County, New Brunswick, Canada; was christened on 14 Nov 1860 in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada; died on 28 Oct 1949 in Everett, Snohomish County, Washington.

*Note: The SSDI lists an Emma Poole of Portland whose date of death was 21 Dec 1990. I requested a copy of her Form SS-5 and it was issued in the name of Emma Georgiana Fort of 6095 W. Hall Street, Portland, Oregan. She was 39 years old at the date of the application, having been born on October 12, 1902 in LaMoure, North Dakota. Her parents were John Alfred Fort and Lewella Elizabeth Watts. She was not employed at the time she completed the application, on May 19, 1942. She must have later married a Poole, but currently there is not enough information to determine if she married one of Grace's brothers, or if there were several Emma Poole's in Portland. Her age seems appropriate to have been married to one of Grace's brothers. Perhaps obtaining a copy of her obituary would help resolve this one way or another.

Grace married John Jacob Schopf before 1926. John (son of Johann Jacob Schopf and Margaret Ann Irwin) was born on 28 Apr 1878 in Ohio; died on 8 Oct 1951 in Everett, Snohomish County, Washington; was buried on 11 Oct 1951 in Evergreen Cemetery, Everett, Snohomish County, Washington.
