Family:Thomas Reeves and Anna Acre (1)

The 1910 U.S. census population schedule entry for the family presents some problems. It is difficult to read, but it seems four children have died since 1900. Lillie clearly survived, but James, Ben, Dollie and Mitzy are not listed. Instead we find "Minnie" listed who's age matches Dollie's better than Mitzy's. James is not to be found in 1910, but there are several possibilities in the 1920 census. Thus, in all probablity Ben and Mitzy died before 1910 along with two other children.

Other children of this family who can be found in the 1910 census are Jessie (b. ca. 1904, possible death entry in the Social Security death index), Susie (b. ca. 1907), both of whom can also be found in Anna's entry in the 1920 census where she is listed with a new husband as Anna Hicks. Also in the 1920 census entry is listed a John W. Reeves (b. ca. 1913).
