Nineteen year old unmarried Rose Schott did not live with her parents and siblings at the time of the 1910 census. In 1910, 19 year old Rose Schott lived as a roomer in the home of attorney Joseph Mayhugh Jr. (41) and his wife Eliza J. (42) at 111 Hawkins Ave. in North Braddock, Allegheny Co., Pa. The Mayhughs, like Rose, were born in Ohio. Rose was unemployed.
There were only two women named Ros* Smithberger in the 1920 US Census; both lived in Ohio. One was Rose Zwick Smithberger, 40 year old wife of George Smithberger in Noble County. The other was 26 year old unmarried Rose Smithberger, an office worker in Cleveland who was one of several boarders in the home of P. W. West. According to the census, Rose and her parents were natives of Pennsylvania. It's possible that the census taker visited the West home while most of the occupants were at work, and Mrs. West answered the census questions as best she could.
