Rippey Family - 1900 Rippey Family Census - Grace Hortense Rippey - page 1

   Grandpa and Grace were cousins through her mother's side, in the "Bills" family line.

   Grace was born in Colorado in 1890. Her parents, William E. Rippey and Cora Shields Bills were both born in Illinois. They were married in Pike County Illinois.

   After William and Cora were married in 1880, they moved to Missouri where their first child Clyde was born in 1882. The family then moved to Colorado. Grace was born in 1890, and her younger brother Charles was born in 1892.

   In the 1900 census, on June 4th, the family was enumerated in Berkeley Town, Arapahoe County Colorado. Grace's mother is counted on the first page. The address of the home I s 229 Park Ave. The family was the 22nd house and the 25th family visited by the enumerator that day. Cora S. Rippey is listed as the head of the household. She is a white female and was born in October 1860. She is 39 years old, and has been married for 19 years. She has been pregnant 5 times and 3 of her children are alive. [I believe that the infants were born and died in Missouri, but I haven't figured that out yet.]

   Cora was born in Illinois, her father was born in New York and her mother was born in Ohio. She can read, write and speak English. She rents her home.
