Agnes Stanton Kinsman

Jul. 24, 1870 - Feb. 5, 1959

Agnes Stanton is the daughter of Aaron Stanton and Elizabeth "Ella" Elmina Brandon.

Agnes married Edward Knill Kinsman of Cornwall, England, who was born Jun 4, 1873.

The couple had two children, Elizabeth (born 1906) and David (born 1908).

The 1910 Census shows this family living in Natchez, Mississippi. The 1920 Census, however, shows the family living in Chicago, Illinois.

The 1930 Census shows Elizabeth living with her parents in Chicago - David is living as a "guest" in what I can only assume is a boarding house of sorts in Evanston, Illinois in Cook County.

Agnes is unemployed, but Edward (aged 56) is listed as an Assistant Secretary for "Liquid ?" , while Elizabeth (aged 24) is a Secretary for "Water ?". I cannot make out the second part of either word, but have highlighted it in this image - if you can make it out, please contact me.

Edward died seven years later on May 6, 1937.
