I found this census interesting because Abraham and Rosetta's daughter
Hulda
Burnard married James Lantz and when Hulda died in 1921 from
complications of childbirth, James Lantz married to the widow Elizabeth
Johnson Parks. Elizabeth was a widow at that time because her husband Ed Parks had died in a coal mine accident in Murray
City and James tried to save
him but brought him out of the mine and he died. Mr. Parks was buried in
the Murray City cemetery. James married Elizabeth soon afterwards and they moved to Belmont county so he could work in the coal mines
there in Lansing. James Lantz and his father John Lantz are buried
in the Lansing Cemetery near Blaine, Ohio. James Lantz and Hulda
