The 1920 census has Marsh Encell age 50, living with wife, Maud 46, and 8 children: Ellenor, 22; Charley, 19; Marsh, Jr., 17; Emma, 13; John P., 11; Nellie, 10; Margaret, 7; Thomas, 5. Residence was in Union Center township. Families listed near them were William and Ada Harrod; Charles Johnson; Oscar and Nellie Shipman; James and May Eaglin; Mary Shipman. Some of these listings may be incorrect as the census-taker for that area that year had terrible handwriting and couldn't spell very well either. I'm only guessing at some of the names hoping they're ones I've heard of over the years relating to this area. Is anyone familiar enough with that area to know about where these families lived?
Thank you for posting this information. I am the son of John P. Encell and my brother and I have a disagreement about what year my father was born. I believe this information clears it up. Thank You.
