1910
Census
San
Francisco
Ten
years after 1900 census, Seth has a second wife, Elizabeth A. (did Addie die?),
Earl C. is out of the household (he was the oldest); there are 2 new children,
George & Myrtle. The 4 holdover children from the 1900 census have the same
names and are all 10 years older, so these are definitely the same kids.
But
here’s the problem. A bunch of info is different from the 1900 census:
Seth
should be 50; but he’s 44. His parents are listed as from Ireland and Mass.
(instead of both Ohio). His birthplace is listed as Illinois, instead of Ohio.
The four holdover kids are listed as born in Wisconsin (instead of Washington),
as is George. Myrtle was born in Calif.
They
are living in San Francisco, which is where Earl Corey and Mary Ellen Mylon met
and married.
1920 census lists Seth (53
from Illinois) & Elizabeth (42 from CA) in San Francisco w/ 2 daughters,
Myrtle (13) and Phebe (7).

Possible: Birth 1862 in Spring Rock,
Clinton, Iowa
Death 1929

With Elizabeth A. 1877-1945
[21] Actual marriage record
says: "Seth A. Corey, Addie Councilmann [double N is prob. a typo], Nov.
4, 1886, First Methodist Church, Omaha, Douglas, Nebraska." The 1900
census says they've been married 13 years, which is correct. They had not yet
reached their 14th anniversary when the census was taken.
