1817. Lyman Decker
5 children are listed in 1920 census, and there are 5 children born before 1920 accounted for. Two names do not match:
Census: Harry (age 7) and Adrian (age 3 9/12)
Reported: Rollin and NelsonMust determine which are the correct first/middle name pairs. Elmer L. Decker was listed in census as Leslie Decker.
Obituary for Stella M. Decker lists surviving brothers as Nelson K. Decker and Rollin R. Decker (and sister Norma), and predeceased by Adrian James and sister Nedra Louise Bates + 4 other brothers.
By my count, that would be 10 children, Stella, 3 siblings who survived her (Norma, Nelson, Rollin), and 6 siblings who predeceased her (Nedra, John, Elmer, Adrian, Dale, Phillip)
