Royal "Rolla" S. Cutting

Notes:

Alice's nieces, Mable and Belle STRONG, were living with Royal and Alice at the time of the 1910 census. Glenn was shown as widowed, but neither of his young daughters were listed in the home. Perhaps they were living with their maternal grandparents?

When the 1920 Mahoning, Ohio census was taken, Royal was widowed, and living only with his daughter, Alberta CUTTING, age 13 and 11/12, and a housekeeper from Pennsylvania. Alberta was the adopted daughter of Royal and Alice, the daughter of Alice's brother, Frederick A. Strong, and named after her mother, Alberta Osborne Strong.
