Notes
a. Note:   1880 Whitman Co., Wash. Census, ED #55, taken 26 June 1880, p 52 [Ancestry.com Image #52]
  Keyes, Frank - age 40 - boarder - laborer - b. Mo. - F born Mo. - M born Mo.
  He is living with the George Smith family - Dwelling #606 - Family #608. This may account for the errors in his age and the birthplace information for him and his parents. Living next door is his brother, Albert Keyes (spelled Elbert in this census]. _________ 1900 Whitman Co., Wash. Census, Palouse Prct. No. 4, ED #92, taken 12 June 1900, p 9A [Ancestry.com, ED #92, Image #17]:

  At the time of this census, I have Mary E. (Walters) Wilson Keyes as the mother of five Wilson children and one Keyes child. I cannot see how she could have had 11 children with 9 still living as the census states. If she did have two children that died young, that would still make her the mother of eight children not 11. Several birth years and ages are written over as if they had been corrected and are, therefore, difficult to read. ________________________ 1910 Lane Co., Ore.

  Note: Eugene's surname is Wilson not Keyes which makes the birthplace listed for his father is incorrect. _______________________ 1920 Lane Co., Ore. Census, Springfield Pct. No. 3, Springfield City, ED #261, taken 12 Jan 1920, p 10B [Ancestry.com, Springfield Pct., ED #261, Image #14]:
