In Response To: Looking for Mr. Harry (Rea)

You've got me somewhat confused, but will give you what I found.

Wapello county marriage records indicate that Esther E. Musselman married Lawrence J. Harry on 4 July 1910.

I cannot find Lawrence Harry in any census prior to 1920

The 1920 Federal census for Wapello county shows:

Harry, Lawrence, , head, aged 28, born Iowa, parents born Iowa
Harry, Esther, wife, aged 27, born Iowa, parents born Iowa
Harry, Raymond, son, aged 9, born Iowa

The 1930 Federal census shows the same - no additional children.

From this point forward is where your post confuses me.

Wapello county marriage records show that Oris Alvia Harry married May Bissell on 23 Sep 1908 and
Benjamn B. Bissell married Dollie May Donaldson on 10 Jul 1889.

The 1930 Federal census for Wapello county shows:

Harry, Oris A., head, aged 60, born Iowa, father born Illinois, mother born Ohio
Harry, May, wife, aged 59, born Iowa, father born Illinois, mother born Iowa
Harry, Clarissa, dau, aged 19, born Iowa

The 1920 Federal census for Wapello county shows:

Harry, Oris A., head, aged 50, same as 1930
Harry, May, wife, aged 49, same as 1930
Bissell, Lottie, step-dau, aged 15, born Iowa
Harry, Clarissa, dau, age 9, born Iowa

The 1910 Federal census for Wapello county shows;

Harry, Oris A,, head, aged 43, born Iowa, father born Indiana, mother born Ohio
Harry, May, wife, aged 39, born Iowa, father born Illinois, mother born Iowa
Harry, Ora, dau, aged 18, born Iowa
Harry, Viola, dau, aged 11, born Iowa
Bissell, Alta, step-dau, aged 8, born Iowa
Bissell, Lottie, step-dau, aged 6, born Iowa
Harry, Clarice, dau, aged 1 month, born Iowa.

Living next door are:

Harry, Elisha M., head,aged 72, born Indiana
Harry, Clarissa, wife, aged 71, born Ohio

and a couple houses down:

Donaldson, William H., head aged 71 born Illinois
Donaldson, Mary J., wife, aged 68, born Iowa

I have confirmed that Elisha and Clarissa Harry are the parents of Oris A. Harry and that William and Mary Donaldson are the parents of May Donaldson,
