  1920 Census - Living in Ottawa Co., OK (33), with wife Grace A. (33), son Eldon E. (2), and son Henry L. (3/12). Alvah born MO, father NC and mother IL. Grace born Kansas, father NY and mother Mich. Children born in OK. He is a Public School Teacher. 1930 Census - Living in Ottawa Co., OK (43), with wife Grace A. (33), and children: Eldon E. (12), and Henry L. (10), plus Father-in-Law William A. Sweetland (84), a Widower. Alva born Missouri, Grace in Kansas, children in OK and William in NY. Married 19 years. He is a Public School Teacher. Alva is a Harvard Graduate. I found this article in the 28 Sept 1930 edition of the Decatur Herald (Illinois): "Family of Five Tours 7,865 Miles for $274 - A 7,865 mile motor tour of seven weeks through the western states recently was completed by a family of five at a total cost of $274.25, an average of seven-tenths of a cent per mile per person. The cost per person per day was only $1.12. The vacation itinerary, including trips through three national parks, Yosemite, the Grand Canyon and Pikes Peak was followed by A. G. Sweezy and family of Commerce, OK., where Mr. Sweezy is a school instructor. Their car was a Pontiac five-passenger sedan." I am quite sure the article pertains to this family.
