Notes
Birth
Age 34 in 1910.Residence (family)
Enumerated with this family were Frank Van Kessel, age 34, a saloon keeper; his wife, Hattie, age 34; and children: Earl, age 7; Dale, age 4; and Adele, age 4. Hattie is reported to have had four children, all of whom were still living -- yet only four children are listed with the family. A mistake? Marian was about two years old at the time, but she was not included with the family. Frank and Hattie had been married for eight years.http://interactive.ancestry.com/7884/4455053_00456?backurl=http%3a%2f%2fsearch.ancestry.com%2fsearch%2fdb.aspx%3fdbid%3d7884%26path%3d&ssrc=&backlabel=ReturnBrowsing#?imageId=4455053_00458
Residence (family)
Enumerated with this family were Frank Van Kessel, age 44; his wife, Adelle, age 45; and children: Earle, age 16; Dale, age 14; Adelle, age 14; and Marion, age 12. Frank is reported to have no occupation -- probably because he had been a saloon keeper, and Prohibition was just beginning. This is the first time I see Hattie called Adelle. Is it indeed Hattie, or a second wife?http://interactive.ancestry.com/6061/4391497_00980?backurl=http%3a%2f%2fsearch.ancestry.com%2fsearch%2fdb.aspx%3fdbid%3d6061%26path%3d&ssrc=&backlabel=ReturnBrowsing#?imageId=4391497_00982
