AMELIA ELIZABETH CRUMBO was born in March 1889 in Kansas to Alexander and Mary Ann Hurd. Alexander and Mary Ann moved to Oklahoma during the first years of Amelia’s life. She grew up on the farm with her parents and family all helping out. It is very likely that she learned how to take care of a farm and helped out. She probably helped care for the cattle and the farms.

She married Walter Wallace Daniels in 1909. He was born in 1888 in Utah. He was the second child to Aaron Daniels and Rose. Walter died in Roosevelt, Duchesne, Utah in 1956
Walter grew up in Utah. He was the second son of Rose and Aaron Daniels. When Walter was around the age of 8 years old, his father Aaron Daniels died. His mother had four children under the age of 11 to care for. She was Navajo but had been adopted into the Ute tribe and lived on the reservation on the land she had gotten. With his father gone, Walter and his brother, Albert, would have had to help out on the farm and be the men of the family. Walter would have learned to work land and keep a farm.

Walter and Amelia raised stock on a ranch of their own for many years while raising a family. Walter is listed as a ranchman that raised his own stock and a stock raiser in two different censuses. He also was a ranger for the United States Indian Services while Amelia was the proprietor of a hotel. They rented their home in Moffat, Uintah, Utah.
There is still more to find out. I hope to find out more about the tribes and about the families.
Terrific documentation on your census records. I always have a hard time knowing how much to post. Jan

ReplyDeleteI am interested in what information you have on the Crumbo family. I did find a book written on the family that mentioned that Alex died at his sisters house. How are you related to them? You can email me at chloeebailey@gmail.com.
