Condon: 1910 Illinois Census

Charles E. Condon and family in Salem, Marion, Illinois.

In Marion County, Illinois in the year 1910 I have four family names: Condon, Bigelow, Alderson, and Daniels. It's kind of interesting how multiple generations converged on that county.

Alice Della Condon: Summary

b. (31 Dec 1905 St. Elmo, Fayette, Illinois - from new.familysearch unknown source) the birth year does not fit well with the information given on the census records. 1910 her age is 6; 1920 her age is 15; neither matching with a December birthday.

m. I believe she never married

d. (14 Nov 1959 -new.familysearch unknown source)

Parents:
Charles E. Condon
Margaret E. Short

Sources: 1910, 1920,1930 Census

Further Research:
I would love to find a birth and death record for her verifying the information I have. Unfortunately I do not see any records in Fayette county that might be helpful and it looks like she died too soon for SSDI to be helpful.

Interesting info from this census:

It gives a complete picture of the family, including all four children.

The birthplaces of parents and children help to place the family in certain states particularly Missouri, Illinois, Ohio, and Indiana (only their first child was born in Missouri).

Occupation given as Railroad Engineer.
