Note: 1900 US Census, Rockhill Borough, Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania, ED #103, sheet #11 (stamped 306-A), ancestry.com image #21 of 24, dwelling # 238 (originally #70), family # 240 (originally #70), enumerated June 13, 1900.
address: Culvert (?) Street (no numbers were listed)
Henry Walker, head, born Aug 1856, age 43, widower, occupation: RR Day Laborer, rented his house, born in PA, parents born in PA
Maude, daughter, born Oct 1882, age 17, single, at school, born in PA, parents born in PA
Edith, daughter, born Mar 1884, age 16, single, at school, born in PA, parents born in PA
Elsie, daughter, born Sept 1889, age 10, single, at school, born in PA, parents born in PA
Guy, son, born June 1892, age 8 (or maybe 7 still), single, at school, born in PA, parents born in PA
Note: although all 4 children were listed as "at school" , the 2 oldest are shown as having attended 0 months in the previous year, and the 2 youngest had attended for 7 months (the normal number apparently)
Henry's age of 43 and birth date of Aug 1856 calculate out correctly, but do not match with his age in all other censuses or with his birth date in the family Bible. He probably was 47 in 1900 - age was probably supplied by one of the children.

1910 US Census, Rockhill Borough, Huntingdon County, PA,
enum dist # 79, visit #265, pg 15, enumerated April 21st, 1910.
Henry A. Walker, head, age 53, widower, occupation: locomotive engineer, rented his home.
Edith, age 26, single
Guy A., age 18, single, occupation, railroad laborer
All are shown as born in PA with all parents born in PA.
They were living on Meadow Street in 1910. (It is unclear if this was the same street as 1900 that had been renamed or if they had moved to a new house)

1920 US Census - not located
-------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------
The family was still living in Rockhill, PA in 1910. We have 2 letters written by Edith to her sister in 1907.
We have 2 photos of the house in Rockhill (probably the one on meadow Street), taken before 1907.
I suspect she may have been ill and may have died before 1920.
