1910 United States Federal Census
Name: Anna B Lowney
[Anna B Lowery] --------------- this is the correct one!
Age in 1910: 55
Birth Year: 1855
Birthplace: Illinois
Home in 1910: Prairie, Crawford, Illinois
Race: White
Gender: Female
Relation to Head of House: Daughter
Marital Status: Widowed
Mother of: 7
Mother of living children: 3
Father's Name: John W Lowney
Father's Birthplace: Virginia
Mother's Birthplace: Ohio
Household Members: Name Age
John W Lowney 86
Anna B Lowney 55

This doesn't make a lot of sense since in 1870, 1880 & 1900 Anna is single
living with parents - even though here she is listed as widowed! I wonder
if these children were for Mother, Martha Lowrey instead!
