Judson A Bruce on his 4th marriage.... resides with wife
Julia and children Elva & Graham. Next door is the
William Channell family with Fletcher Bruce as nephew still residing
with them.
Perhaps the new wives did not want to raise Fletcher who was born
of another wife to Judson? It doesn’t appear to be an adoption as
the census continues to list him as “nephew” in the household.
I can send copies of the census if you are not able to locate them.
