Occupation: Mill owner at Norville and Dexter ...

owned mills in Dexter and Norvell

Residing with second wife in Tyrone Township, Kent County, Michigan, at time of the 1900 Census ... Occupation: Farmer ... According to the census, Albina had born 2 children/both living at time of the census ... Julius & Albina had been married 20 years at time of the census 156

Those two children of Albina's referred to in the 1910 census must have been from a previous marriage ... I found Albina J. (stated she was widow of Julius) in the Pittsfield City Directory in Berkshire County, Massachusetts ... and listed as mother-in-law in the Chauney Sears (70) household in Pittsfield, Massachusetts at time of the 1920 Census ... Chauney's wife Frances J. (Albina's daughter) was 52 years old which would have her born in 1868 (before Albina married Julius) ...

I double checked the census records and Julius & Albina lived in Pittsfield in Michigan at time of the 1910 census, but Albina lived in Pittsfield in Massachusetts, in 1917 & 1919 (Pittsfield, Massachusetts directory) and at time of the 1920 Census ... 156
