1905 Census for Medicine Lodge, Kansas

In 1905, William and Elizabeth Forsyth of Medicine Lodge, Kansas had visitors.  William's sister, Margaret, a music teacher, apparently lived with the couple for several years.  Also in this census is Annie Forsyth, the widow of Charles Cockburn Forsyth and mother of Leslie;  she was born in Ireland and is listed as a nurse. We don't know what happened to her, but Leslie was going to school in Canada and living with his Forsyth grandparents.  In 1905, William is the owner of a mill, a fact that was noted in his father's history from a Weston source.  The other woman in this census is not a relative.
