MASON

I have several 1910 census pages copied. If you are related and would like some info that I don't have include here, please email me: topaz1954@yahoo.com I will share what I have. The pages I have are from Pope County, Arkasas. If you have knowledge of where Grandpa James Harvey and Grandma Linda were living in 1930, I would like to have you share that with me. I have searched both the Pope Co. Arkasas Census and the Pittsburg County, Oklahoma Census for 1930 and can't find them on either one. Anyone know when they migrated to Oklahoma??

Note: Update! I downloaded a better copy of this census and found that the name is "Lonnie E.", not Linda E. as previously read from a poor quality print of the census. Also, from the 1910 Census, I am able to read Great Grandpa James Murry Mason's place of birth better as Can. English.

Living with Murry and Emma A. Mason in 1910, Pope Co. Arkansas were Murry S., son, age 20, born in Missouri and Harry E., son, age 18, born in Arkansas.
