  5. Esther is listed at 53 Prospect St, Gardner MA, where she boarded as a teacher. The name Follansbee was read by the indexer as Tallensber!
  6. 1930: The Census lists Esther back at home with Samuel and Fannie. Samuel is listed as a farmer, retail milk, and Esther as a public school teacher. The indexer misread the last name as Hallensber. I found them more easily by using a neighbor, George Smith, who lived next door. He is a nephew of Samuel, cousin of Esther's. His wife Emma, son George, daughter Lillian M. Johnson (“Marguerite”), and son-in-law Al lived in the household.
