She further declares that they ahve been married 12 years and she has born 6 children, 5 alive at this time. The five are in the home. (ED 22, p. 1B., fam #19/19)On the 1910 census, they are shown in Grant's Pass City, Josephine Co., Ore, at 724 "L" St. John, 54, is a laborer at Odd Jobs. Maggie, 42, declares they have been married 21 years and she has born 9 children, 7 alive at this time. Seven are in the home, so most probable oldest daughter, Grace, has died since last census.
