DOCUMENTATION

HUSBAND – Stanley LISTER

BIRTHPLACE: In the 1920 Census daughter Gwendolyn Lister says her father was born New York.

NAME: Daughter's birth index gives parents' names.

BIRTH: 1900_US_CENSUS: Here he is in his father's household at Farmer's Precinct, Salt Lake, Utah (in 1900 the Metcalfs were also living in Farmer's Precinct.)
Lister, William Head male born Aug 1834 age 65 Married 30 years, born Scotland, Contractor
  ---  Emily  Wife female born Jan 1850 age 50 Married 30 years, the mother of 5 children, 5 living, born Ohio, both parents born Ohio
  ---  Albert W. son male born June 1872 age 27 Single, born Ohio, occupation Soldier
  ---  William B. son male born Apr 1878 age 22 Single, born Ohio, student
  ---  Stanley  son male born Oct. 1882 age 17 Single, born Minnesota, at school

1880_US_CENSUS: His parents' family is enumerated in Cincinnati, Hamilton, Ohio (before his birth)
Lister William male age 46 Traveling Agent born Scotland, both parents born Scotland
  ---  Emily Wife female age 38 wife House keeping, born Ohio, both parents born Ohio
  ---  Emily W.  female age 19 son (should be daughter -she's a female named Emily)
  ---  Albert  male age 7  (I think they mean 17 - he's 27 in 1900) son
       Where's William B?

The below records MIGHT be for our Stanley Lister, but they might not.:

1910_US_CENSUS: This MIGHT be him enumerated at Hoquiam, Chehalis (county organized as Chehalis & changed to Grays Harbor in 1915), Washington - rooming in a private residence:
Lister Standly  Boarder Male age 28  Single born Minnesota, both parents born United States, occupation Lumber worker, lumber mill
Note that our Stanley's ex-wife's nephew-in-law Francis Arthur Mathews was in the lumber business in Washington.

Here is that man's WWI Draft Registration Card; image seen at Ancestry.com. Again, this might be our Stanley Lister, but it might not.
Registration date is left blank but these were done 1917-1918
Name: Stanley Keleigh Lister
Current Residence: Mukilteo, Snohomish, Washington
Age: 37 Birth date: October 18, 1880 (no birthplace given)  Native born
Occupation: Resident Mgr., Crown Lumber Co., Mukilteo, Snohomish, Washington
Nearest relative: Mrs. Emma B. Lister, Mukilteo, Snohomish, Washington
Physical description: medium height, medium build, gray eyes, dark hair

1920_US_CENSUS: Here is that same Santley Lister; enumerated at Mukilteo, Snohomish, Washington
Lister, Stanley K.  Head male age 39 married, born Minnesota, father born Scotland, mother born Ireland, occupation manager, lumber mill
  ---  Emma B.  Wife  female age 31 married, born Wisonsin, both parents born Berlin.
Note that this Stanley says he was born in Minnesota and that his father was born Scotland. That fits the information from our Stanley's 1900 census information. The only difference is that our Stanley's mother said she was born in Ohio in the 1900 census. Still, this might be our Stanley.

Here's another record that gives more weight to the possibility that the above Stanley Lister is our Stanley. Here is the WWI Draft Registration Card for a man that looks like the brother of our Stanley:
Name: Albert Wesley Lister
Permanent Address: 712 7th, Hoquiam, G.H., Wa
Age: 45:  Birthdate: June 14, 1873 (no birthplace is given)
Occupation Laborer, Grays Harbor L__ Co., Hoquiam, G.H., Wa
Nearest Relative: Olive Smith, Plandome, New York
Physical description: medium height, medium build, blue eyes, dark hair
(in the 1900 census our Stanley has a brother Albert W. who they say was born June 1872. Also notice that Hoquiam is the same place where we find a Stanley Lister in the 1910 census.)

And here is that Albert Lister in the 1920 census. Enumerated in a private residence at Hoquiam, Grays Harbor, Washington
Lister A.W.  Lodger  male age 46, Single, born Ohio, father born Scotland, mother born US, occupation Labor, Saw mill
