Note: It was brought to my attention by Jim Wilson (son-in-law of Katheryne Say) that the June 1900 census entry was probably for Charles Eugene. It is said he went by the name of "Eugene or "Gene" and Rose Ella Jones is pretty close to Rosella Jones. Rose and Charles Eugene's children born before 1900 were Freda [1895-1940] and Charles Leo [1897-1901] and Cecil Edward [1899-1901]. I would say since the dates match there is no question that this is the family of Charles Eugene Pickering. This is a great example of having others share in the research. I have not been able to make this little puzzle fit for years - guess I was just a little too close to it. Good job Jim!
