I am attempting to track John C. Weatherwax born 1888 PA. In USC1900 he appears as a student at the Orphans home in Xenia OH. He is listed on line 14 living in cottage #21.
John would later become a Hardware salesman and move to Los Angeles CA. There in 1910 he married a Mabel R. Wilson. They had 1 son John C. Weatherwax jr b: 23 Jul 1911.This family lived in the Long Beach area. The famly also appears in USC1920 in Long Beach, they only had the one child John died sometime before 1930 when his widowed wife and son appear in USC1930 in Long Beach. Since he was born in 1888 in PA and there is no 1890 census available, I was wondering if anyone knows if the records of the Orphan home are available for review to determine John C. parents. Searches online in Pennsylvania have not turned up any clues
