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 wouln't have been 11 for another month, but we have his birthyear 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
