Nettie show's as part of Hiram's household as a child.  She's married at age 25 and is in Goldsmith in 1900 along with brothers Fred and Edgar and parents Hiram and Mary.   Some of Nettie's family shows up in Neighboring Howard county in the city of Kokomo after 1910.  However both Nettie and William drop from view around that time as well and were probably both deceased as their daughter Mary is living in 1910 with an elderly couple named William and Mary Calvin in Tipton Indiana and is listed as an Orphan.  Nettie's mother Mary says in 1910 that she had three surviving children.  that would mean Nettie was alive at the time of her mothers Census in April 1910.  There is a 1910 census in Marion county where a woman the same age as Nettie is listed as a paitent.  I don't know if it's a hospital, mental institution or what but the writing is so light that it's difficult to read.  the womans name is Bouse, Betty (Nettie)? and she's listed as married.  If this were her then her husband William would still be alive as well.  However the young Mary Bouse was called an orphan in 1910 in Tipton county at the time of her census which was on the same day as the one taken of her grandmother in Marion county.  It is confusing without any supporting records. Oscar joined the Army in 1918.  Oscar is a presser at a pottery factory in Kokomo.  He marries Rose Mae.  It is her second marriage.  They appear not to have had children but had rasised a young boy who was their ward, Robert E. Wilmer.  Oscar is buried at the Marion National Cemetary in Marion Indiana as a war Veterin. Manford joined the Navy in 1917. He was married and had three children with Juanita.  He also was an agent for the railroad in Dear Creek Indiana in 1930.  Manford shows up in a WWII draft registration from Walkerton Indiana Married to Helen.  He's working for the New York-Chicago & St. Louis Railway company out of Walkerton Indiana at the time. Harry Bouse Was in the marines during WWI from Dec 1919 to Dec 1923 and, like his brother Oscar, was buried in the Marion national Cemetary for war vetrins.  He is listed in the social security death index with a birthdate of 1 march 1895 but the National Cemetary lists his birth date as 1 march 1898.  His parents lists his birthdate on the 1900 census as Jan 1895.  it's possible the birthdate wasn't registered with the county until March.  Currently I am unable to find out anything about a wife or children. Louis lists a woman named Alice Bouse as his mother on his WWI draft registration which is puzzling to me.  I can find no Alice Bouse living in Indiana that would qualify.  Louis shows up on the Social Security Death Index as having died in Travis county Texas 15 June 1970.  There was an Alice Bouse living in Texas but I'm not sure if it's the same one.  His birth is listed as March 1898 but his parents list him in 1900 as being born in 1896.  The 1896 birth is more likely as Mary is also born in 1898.  There is no other Louis Bouse I can find anywhere in the country.  At the moment I can find no other information on Louis.  It's very possible there are two Louis Bouse however in my searches I could only find one. Mary E. Bouse is listed in 1910 living with William and Mary Calvin.  A 68 year old retired couple who took her in after her parents death.  she's listed as an orphan at the time.  I can find no record of a marriage or census in 1920 or 1930.  I did, however, find Mary in the Social Security Death index as having died in Indianapolis in Marion county on Dec 1984.  She is listed with her maiden name so she possibly had never married.  That is also where her cousin, my great Uncle, Harry Fulkerson lived and died in 1987.  Blanche Bouse lived only a year of her young life.  She died in Goldsmith Indiana in 1900.
