Note: 11 July 2002: We do not know his date of death, only that it was after the 1930 Census, or place of burial; his wife died first and he remarried, explaining why he is not buried in the Macy Plot in Woodlawn with his first wife. He had no children with his second wife. He lived for at least 40 years (1890-1930) at 113 E. 29th St. He was not there for the 1880 Census; we do not know how long prior to 1890 he moved in, and how long after 1930 he stayed.

Still at the same address in the 1910 Census. Still an importer of marble. Edward Jr. had married and moved about a year before.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Still at the same address in the 1920 Census. Sarah had died in 1914, but Edward had remarried, a much younger woman, named Clara, aged 42. Here, Edward claims to be only 62, a pretty neat trick after being 59 in the 1910 Census! His son, Edward Day Thurston, Jr., has yet to be found in the 1920 Census; he seems not to be in the index.
Still at the same address in the 1930 Census. Edward claims to be 72 (He had just turned 79 the month before the enumerator arrived), Clara is only 50. They had two Irish servants.
