A couple of years ago I was exploring a branch of my family that had migrated out here to Washington from Michigan. My great-great grandmother Mary Ellen (Curtis) Reed's youngest sister Dora and her husband James Phillips moved from Cass County, Michigan to Olympia, Washington between 1900 and 1910, bring with them their children, Edith Mary and Perl. Edith married twice, and researching in the Washington Digital Archives, I discovered her second marriage was to Late F. Dixon, who was born about 1890. Just out of curiosity, I went looking for him and his parents on the 1900 census, and found them living in Battlement, Garfield County, Colorado.
I did a double take when I saw the name of Late's brother - he was Early Dixon!
Makes you wonder why parents choose the names they do!
