CENSUS COMMENTS:
--The census data lists Iona's Father (David Dillie, age 56) as actual head of household with wife Mary (age 55) and Iona as Daughter. Irene, Mary and Dorothy are listed as Granddaughters.
-- At Franklin Library: the City directory for 1920/21; The alphabetic listing shows Iona at 7 Rocky Grove Ave. The street list shows the house at that address as David W. Dillie (Iona's maiden name - from other sources) with a population of 10.

COMMENTARY:
William Giering was the second husband of Belle Pitcher. She had a daughter, Dorothea, by her first husband: Mont Kirkpatrick. William adopted Dorothea and, as a result of that, plus the fact that she married her Father's cousin, Norman, she took the Giering name.
Conflicting DOB for Iona: The County Poor house (where she died) listed her as being 36 when admitted on Jul 8, 1926 yielding a DOB of 1890. The cemetery lists her DOB as 1884.
