immigrated 1851, in US for 49 years, naturalized citizen, occ: Passenger Conductor - RR, orned his house free of mortgage
Elenar(sic), wife, age 43, born Nov 1856 in Canada (Eng.), both parents born in Ireland, married 18 years, had 8 children, 7 living
Robert, son, age 16, born Nov 1883 in PA, at school

Dan, son, age 11, born July 1889* in PA, at school
John, son, age 7, born June 1892 in PA, at school
Elenar(sic), daughter, age 6, born Sept 1893 in PA, at school
Note : This is a clue that Ellen Keating's name may actually have been Eleanor Keating rather than Ellen, both she and her daughter are recorded here in the misspelling "Elenar or Elenor" although she is not listed that way anywhere later that we have found.
Dan Jr was listed out of order he should have come before Fannie.
*Dan's birthyear is shown as 1889 and his age as 11, but he was born in July so he wouldn't have been 11 for another month, but we have his birth year from other sources as 1888 so 11 would have been correct.
Matilde was called Tillie for short just as Frances was called Fannie, and both Daniels are recorded as Dan. This enumerator obviously did not insist on formality when it came to names :-)
The child who was not living was Eleanor's twin, James who had died at 5 months

Notes: Caroline's name might also be Stanchfield.
birthplace of Mathilde's parents is incorrect, father was actually Ireland, mother was actually Ontario, Canada, perhaps somone else supplied the information. There is a large "O" symbol following the Scot-English entry. This appears on a few other entries by this enumerator where the location was "Scot-English" or "Ire.-English", but some other entries have a large "L" after the location, apparently this was some code the enumerator was using to mark something but I can't figure out what.

The Hunts worked for a lighterage company - lighterage is the transportation of goods on a lighter which is a flatbottomed boat for carrying heavy loads - Seattle is a seaport.
Mathilde was actually 33, she was either fudging her age or else someone else supplied the data - which seems likely since many of the parents birthplaces are either unknown or "United States" which in Matilde's case was incorrect.

Mathilde was actually 44 now but this age fits with the one given in 1920 so maybe she was "adjusting" it a bit
