I haven't been able to find Edward and Thirza/Thurza in the 1930 census.  Maybe they were in Canada between 1920+, through 1930, up to before 1938, when Edward died in Ohio.

I've sent a personal message.


Edward and wife Bertha are on Ellis Island coming back from a trip to visit her mother.  I believe it was in 1914.
