: :Note: the listing of Laura M. Shatz as the "wife" of William Shatz appears to be an error by the census-taker and written incorrectly. Laura M. Shatz was clearly the DAUGHTER of William; she was listed in the 1880 Census as the daughter of William and Anna Shatz, and confirmed again in the 1910 Census, when William was listed as a "widower" with daughter Laura M. Shatz, age 35; and again in the 1920 Census, when DAUGHTER Laura M. Shatz was listed at age 44.
