Census of 1860: See below for confusion regarding name mispelling. This handwriting glitch made finding this information extremely difficult. We owe a debt of gratitude to Anne Rahamut and Dennis Beausoleil.

The census of 1870: Fredrick Teeple the elder...aged 75...Son Oliver (Fredrick O. Teeple) aged 14. Fredrick's nephew, James, evidently ''without occupation''??? See text below for further explaination.

Fredrick Oliver Teeple and Eliza J. Hastings were married in Alcon County, Mi on 26 MAY 1885

The next page is the proof. Earl was 11 at the time.

The next only other census item so far is an entry for Aunt Cora, aged 17, working as a servant in Port Huron.
