Notes:

Married:
At the time of the 1910 census, Joseph's mother-in-law, 72 year old Mary BENTON, was living with the family. Amelia was shown as being the mother of 5 children in total, all still living. Only Ruth and Esther were still living at home. As of 1920, Mary BENTON was no longer in the household, presumably deceased. Both Ruth and Esther still were living with their parents. Ruth was working as a teacher. There was no occupation listed for Esther.
