The complete census entry can be found in Vol. 8, ED 29, sheet 9, line 11 of the New York 1900 census (NY 1900 census soundex in LDS Microfilm 1,246,854).

In the 1910 US Census, this family resided in Harmony township, Forest County, Pennsylvania. The household included Gilbert C. Seaver (head, male, white, age 39, second marriage, married 1 year, born NY, father born VT, mother born PA, a millwright, works at tannery, rents home), Cora B.

Note that it is very likely that the latter two children are the children of Cora and her first husband (name unknown) rather than the natural children of Gilbert Seaver.
