Conflict on date of birth. Cemetery book  22nd  Harold 21st.

I used birth place of the children as Franklin Twp.,Bremer,IA because they
were there in all the federal census till after all the children were born.
The 1885 st. census said Edward, Fred, Ernest & James were all born in Bremer
Co.,Ia.

Listed in 1897-98 Waterloo Directory - assessed value of property a $95

The 1885 and 1895 state census also said all the children were born in Bremer
County Co.,Iowa;

First wife:  Emma Bond died when baby was born.  Married 11 Mar 1869.
There is a Affidavit filed in Fayette Co,IA 13 Feb, 1923 and recorded in Book 5

Family living in Bremer County. Children born in Bremer
County in the 1885 and 1895 state census.

Harold Chase has this child as number 2.  He is on the 1880 federal census and
sayes he is 6 yrs old. The census was taken on 8 June and he must have died
right after. There is no Mary on the census.  Charles 6, Edward 5 and Fredie 3.
I thought the cemetery book has the wrong information on Charles and Mary and
reversed ages at death for Charley and Mary.  There still seems to be a problem
as this would have made Mary born in 1879 before the 1880 census and she is not
listed.
