I wonder if the addresses are mixed up; in 1920, they live and own next door, where Frank and Rose live now. Immigration date appears wrong, as one child born in Poland 1874. Perhaps it should be 1878? And it seems Mary would own the house, not Urban, who's just back from seminary. On the census, the ownership was on Mary's line, then crossed out and put on Urban's.

No record of accident or WWS, but suggest accident could be as late as 1875. ICC reports date only from 1877. WW's son William worked as a fireman on the RR at Connellsville, is on 1880 census there--perhaps confusion on which William? But, death would be after 1880.
