(COMMENT: It appears that Frederick Finsley's "home & family" was in Buffalo, WV...but that he was physically located in KS, working as a farm laborer for the Billick's in 1880. Note that he appears in the 1880 Buffalo, WV census record below. Also note that the birthplace of Frederick's parents is incorrectly reported as "WV" in the KS census...but correctly recorded as "Germany" in the WV census.)

[COMMENTS: The census taker tried to indicate the children's surnames by using initials: F = Finsley, B = Brown. This was necessary, due to the fact that Myrtle had been married twice at this point...first to Robert Lee Brown (2 children: Virgil Glen and Hazel), then to Guy Earl Finsley (3 children: Elizabeth Jane, Frederick Henry, and Margaret Ruth). It's interesting to see that Myrtle was a "servant", according to the 1930 census taker...she would become George Wise's wife in 1938.].
