 The back of Frances' picture reads,"Mr. A.N. Glaze, Goshen, Ga. 3 miles west of Gohen. Artist make dress black." It is based on this that the picture is thought to be Frances Cullars Glaze. The picture was taken by Usher's Gallery, formerly Gable and Usher, Augusta, Ga. |

Norman, W.E. (William Ellington)
Head of Household, age 33, married 9 years
Norman, Permelia, wife, age 64, single (This is wrong,
Permelia was A.N.'s sister.)
Norman, Marie, daughter, age 7
Norman, Elsie, daughter, age 5
Norman, Harold, son, age 3
Norman, Ruth, daughter, age1
Norman, Daughter, daughter, age 6/12 months. (This was
Lillian who evidently had not been named.)

This shows that the census records should not be taken as absolute. They are only as good as the census taker.
