down a dirt road
I barely remember
how deep I must go
into this canyon
to find the river

Household #1 - LINES (Updated Info!)

#1 WILLIAM LINES

In the first household listed on the census for River Portal in 1910 is the family of William Lines.  William was born in Utah and undocumented information lists him as dying in Montrose County, Colorado in the mid 1950's.  His wife is found on the 1900 census living with her mother and stepfather.  The birth state for the man / head of the house doesn't match the birth state listed for William's wife Donna's father.  Also, the marriage between the mother and stepfather was only 7 years old so not long enough to legitimately account for the 14 year daughter.  I've read undocumented records indicating that her maiden name was "Jones".  Note that, as often happened, the census taker on the 1920 census identified the family as "Lions" instead of "Lines".  The family is also at times listed as "Lyons".
