Selected Families and Individuals

Notes


Lawrence William Witzberger

In 1930, Lawrence (32) and Eliza (31) Witzberger rented part of a multi-family dwelling at 202 16th St. in Wheeling, Ohio County, West Virginia. Living with them was son Jack (11), who attended school that year. Lawrence was employed as a plumber. The family did not own a radio set. Their rent was $12.50 per month. The other families in the building paid rent that was several times higher... as much as $50.

According to the 1930 census, the "age at first marriage" for Lawrence and Eliza was 17 and 18, respectively. Since Lawrence was older than Eliza, this means that either the census-taker transposed the data, or Lawrence and Eliza had previous spouses.


Eliza

According to the census, Eliza and her parents were born in West Virginia.
