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)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------
We have several pictures of Guy as a boy and as an adult.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------
I don't know if we have any proof that Guy was born in Rockhill. The family may not have been living there in 1892 or in 1896 when his mother died.

Possible match in 1920 - no way to be sure this is the right person yet :
1920 US Census, ED 225, Denver, Denver County, Colorado, enumerated January 8th 1920, sheet # 7A, line #29
lodging with 5 other people at 1912 Logan Street - no one was listed as head of household or as running a boarding house
(5 street numbers on Logan Street were all listed under the same dwelling # 103, no "family" number was assigned to #1912 Logan, since there was no head of household and no people were related except 2 sisters in their 40's who were clerks for the Board of Education. They were also born in PA. It falls between family # 187 and 188.
Walker, Guy A, lodger, age 27, single, born in PA, parents born in PA, occ: inspector - Adding Machine Co.
(There was also a 19 year old apparently named Henry R. Carpenter from Iowa lodging there who was also an inspector - Adding Machine Co., he is listed as being female however so that was either a mistake or her name wasn't Henry (It is not too clear, but the person is indexed as Henry R Carpenter) ??
other people were all from different states or other counties.
