Unable to locate in the 1920 Federal Census.  There are probably more children.

There is a problem with Charles year of birth.  1900 census said Dec 1875 and
his headstone said 1876.  He is also 18 in the 1895 state census at Oran so
1876 is probably the correct year. Would need obit to prove.

1900 Federal Census Mertie said mother of 2 with one living and only married
one year.  Zella could have been a twin.  There are two other children buried
with parents in the Fairbank Cemetary, but not one born in 1899.

Leroy and Clair are buried on the same lot with Charles and Mertie but never
could find the family in another census to prove they are sons.  Need obit for
Mertie.  Might list children.

In the cemetary book the year of death of Clair was only 3 numbers 191.  Need
to write Buchanan Genealogical Society to get the correct year.  I used 1910
just because a number had to be in the space to complete the other information.
I assume this child was a boy but need to be proven if possible.
