In 1910, Glover Shimp (30) rented part of a home in Valley Twp., Guernsey Co., Ohio, where he lived with his wife Leah (22) and son, Martin (2). Glover and Leah had been married for five years. Glover worked as a coal miner. Glover was a native of Ohio, as was his son. Leah was born in West Virginia; her parents were from Kentucky.
By 1920, the family moved to Columbus, Ohio. The household consisted of Glover (39), Leah (32), and Martin (12) Shimp, and Glover's brother, Bernice (24). (This is most likely Ernest, who was 24 in 1920.) Glover and his brother both worked as car repairmen at a railroad shop.
In 1930, the family -- Glover (49), Lea (38), and Martin (22) owned a home worth $7500 at 199 N. Oakley Ave. in Columbus. Glover and Martin both worked as machine operators at a roller bearing plant. A portion of their house was rented out to another family. Unlike most of their neighbors, the Shimp family did not own a radio set.
Informant for death certificate was his son Martin Shimp, whose address was the same as Glover's (199 N. Oakley Ave., Columbus, OH).
In 1910, Hal and May Shimp lived in Valley Twp., Guernsey County, Ohio; next door to Ha's parents. Hal worked as a coal miner. According to the census, the Shimps had been married for four years, and this was the first marriage for each. Two girls in the houseold are idendified as Hal's daughters: Eva (3) and Lela (1); however the census also indicates that May Shimp had never given birth to any children. The girls may have been adopted. Further research needs to be done to clarify the issue.
At the time of the 1920 census, the family still lived in Valley Twp. Members of the household were Hal (32), his wife May V. (29), and children Ena P. (12), Fela F. (11), Ralph N. (8), Frederick D. (6) and Oda (4 yrs 8 mos). The four oldest children attended school. Everyone in the home was a native of Ohio, as were their parents. Hal was employed in a coal mine.
In 1930, Hal M. Shimp rented a home for $21 a month at 753 South Ninth St. in Cambridge, Guernsey County, Ohio. Other members of the household were his wife May V. (40), and children Upton (18), Frederick (16), Roberta (14), Violet (12), Ross (11), June (7), Hallie (5) and Theora (2 yrs 10 mos). Roberta, Violet, Ross, and June attended school. All of the children were natives of Ohio.
It is worth noting that in 1920, there were three children in the houseold born between 1910 and 1920. Ten years later, there were five children in the household born between 1910 and 1920. With the exception of Frederick, none of the names of the children in the home in 1930 match children in the housheold in the previous two census records.
Hal Shimp’s obituary was published in the Zanesville Times Recorder on 16 Sep 1940:

CAMBRIDGE, O. -- Hal Martin Shimp, 54, died at Swan hospital
Saturday night as a result of head injuries received on Aug. 30 while
he was working at the Blount-Vessels mine near Coshocton. His
skull was fractured when his head became caught between a coal
car and a rib in the mine. He had been in serious condition at the
hospital since the accident.
He was born on April 7, 1887 in Noble county, a son of Frank
and Phoebe Gray Shimp, and was united in marriage to Mae
LaFollette on Sept. 15, 1906. Mr. Shimp was a life long member
of the Church of Christ.
His wife survives in addition to the following children, Mrs. Carl
Millhone, Cambridge; Upton, Frederick and Ross Shimp, all of
Cambridge, Mrs. Harry McFarland and Mrs. Carl Preston, both of
Wheeling, W.Va. and June, Hallie and Theoria Shimp, all of the
home. One daughter is deceased. The following brothers and
sisters also survive: Glover and Ernest Shimp, Columbus, and
Mrs. Minnie Love of Sandusky, in addition to 10 grandchildren.
One brother and two sisters are deceased.
The body was prepared for burial at the Stevens & McCracken
funeral home, South Eight street and was taken to the family home,
753 South Ninth street, Sunday evening.

In 1920, 24 year old Ernest Shimp lived with his brother, Glover and his wife, Leah and son Martin in Columbus. Ernest is mis-identified as "Bernice" Shimp. He and his brother both worked as car repairmen for a railroad shop.
In 1930, Ernest E. Shimp (38) rented a home for $45 a month at 148 Hubbard Ave. in Columbus, Ohio. Living with him were his wife, Pluma, (46) and daughters Ethera (11) and Mora (5). Ernest worked as a watchman in a department store. The census asked the question "How old were you when you were first married?" Ernest was 31 and Pluma was 20. This suggests that this was Ernest's first marriage, but Pluma's second, and that Ethera was not Ernest's daughter.
Daisy and Charles Brockley did not have any children.
