Walter W and Effie (Hamilton) Gilbert Family - 1910 US Census Nez Perce County, Big Eddy Precinct , Idaho

December 30, 2005

Walter and Effie on the farm in 1910. Effie is the daughter of Supplina and Sarah Jane (Sumpter) Hamilton. <em><strong>It's interesting to note three things about this record:</em></strong> 1) Walter's brother Frank is still living with them as in the 1900 Census and listed as a 'Farm Hand', 2) they live next to George W. Sumpter (age 50) and family. This is George <em>Washington</em> Sumpter the youngest child of Alexander and Nancy (Prather) Sumpter, the parents of Effie's Mom (Sarah Jane Sumpter). Effie's Uncle George was named after the original George Washington Sumpter who was carried as an infant by his mother to meet his father who was a soldier in George Washington's Continental Army, and serving under General Washington. The third and last point of interest is that Effie's sister Pirena and her husband Samuel S. Gilbert (Walter's brother) have left their homestead in Nez Perce, County Idaho. Samuel and Pirena are found in the 1910 census living on 4th st. in Albany Oregon and they have a grocery store. They moved close to their Gilbert extended family in Albany. Effie no longer has her sister close by in Idaho.
