Some records
indicate that Arthur has one sibling, an (Unknown) Fink, born 28
Deb 1917, but that child is not listed on the 1920 Census.
If there was indeed another child, he/she must have died before
1920. |

|
By 1930,
Arthur's father, Lucas had died (in his early 50s) leaving
Elizabeth "Lizzie" to run the family farm. Arthur's age
was listed as 15. Elizabeth's brother, Jasper C. Williams,
and his wife, Nattie M., as well as a cousin, Viola Williams,
were also living with Elizabeth and Arthur. |
