A.-initial matches - Howard A, Joni A, Florence A, Leo A and so on - not Adolphs. (b) The Sussex County Coopers born about 1895-1904 are Samuel E, Earnest E, Anna M, Emma, Roland (parents Warren, Carrie - that is Roland Warren Cooper in [D.879], and it is the control that shows this search WOULD have found a son of this household), Celia, M Pitney, Lester, Leona, Fred D, Nellie, Alice S and Albert S. No Adolph. => He was aged 30 and living somewhere the 1930 index does not place in New Jersey under this name. The 1940 census says he was at ANDOVER in 1935, so he returned - or never left and was missed, or is indexed under a mangled forename.
