In 1930, Cornelius Blatt (26), his wife Rosella (23), and daughters Stella (2) and Dorothy (1) lived with his parents at the family home at 1300 Madison Avenue in Pittsbugh. Cornelius worked as a truck driver.
Rosella and both of her parents were born in Pennsylvania.
In 1910, Peter Blatt (46) owned a two-family home at 1300 Madison Avenue in the 23rd ward of Pittsburgh in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. Living in the household were his wife, Minnie (36) and children Cornelius (5) and Elenora (4). Peter was born in West Virginia and Minnie in Ohio; all of their parents were natives of Germany. Both children were born in Pennsylvania. Peter worked as a wagon driver. This was the first marriage for both Peter and Minnie.
The family has not been found in the index for the 1920 for the US census.
On April 16, 1930, the census taker visited the Blatt home at 1300 Madison Ave. in Pittsburgh. Although Minnie died less than a week before, she was listed in the census. (Census takers were instructed to record the names of the people living in the household on April 1, 1930.) However, rather than being names immediately after her husband, she was listed last in the household, after her children and grandchildren.
Members of the household on April 1, 1930 were retiree Peter Blatt (65), his wife Minnie (54), three of their children Cornelius (26), Joseph (18) and Stella (19), Cornelius' wife Rosella (23), and their children, Stella (2 yrs 2 mos) and Dorothy (1 yr, 2 mos). Peter owned the home, the value of which was "unknown" (as were the values of many of the other homes on that page of the census). The Blatt family owned a radio set.
