Individual Details
Pearl Harold Learner
(1 Apr 1876 - 23 Jul 1913)
Censuses sometimes give Pearl's place of birth as Iowa.
At age 4, his place of birth given as Indiana. In 1900, his place of birth was given as Iowa. In 1910, the link to his census page is bad but it does give him born 1876 in Iowa. If the family did ever go to Iowa it was for a brief time. It is said that his parents married in Iowa, but his father was present in Howard Co IN for every census from 1850 until 1910.
I was able to access the 1910 census at Heritage Quest. He was in the 1st Ward of Kokomo, Howard Co IN.
Pearl H. Learner, age 34, married for 8 years, b. Iowa, parents b. IN. He manufactured tools.
His wife was also named Pearl. She was age 31 and had had only one child. She was born IN as were her parents.
There was a son Raymond J. F. age 7.
In 1920, Pearl Learner, age 40, was living in the household of Ray Ruchy in Kokomo Ward 3, He had a son Raymond age 16. Both were born in Indiana. Candacy Yetzer was also living there - she's listed as a niece but it's unclear whether she's Pearl Learner's niece or his landlord's - I suspect the landlord's given her age. She is age 24, born in Indiana; her father born in Germany, her mother born in Indiana.
