In 1900, Peter Zwick did not live with his parents and siblings on the family farm in Stuebenville City in Franklin Twp., Monroe County, Ohio.
In 1910, Peter W. Zwick (35) and his wife of 7 years, Elenore (25), owned a mortgaged home on Back Street in Lewisville, Monroe County, Ohio. According to the census, it was the first marriage for both Peter and Julia. Julia had given birth to two children, both still living, but neither child was enumerated in the household with their parents. Since Elenore is known to have given birth to her third child two days after the census was taken, it's likely that the two toddlers were sent to stay with relatives. Peter was a laborer who did odd jobs. Both he and his wife were natives of Ohio, as were their mothers. Peter's father was from Germany. Elenore did not know exactly where her father was from... his nativity is listed as "United States."

arrested him and brought him to the Noble county
jail.

and although he had not supported his children since
1939, he was driving a Packard automobile. His family
are needy, but have managed to stay off relief.
