"U.S. Census, 1910":
Inyan Kara, Sundance, Crook County, Wyoming
Emory Vernon is either visiting or living with his aunt, Lizzie Paxton (Elisabeth E. Richardson Davis Paxton) in Inyan Kara, Sundance, Crook County, Wyoming. With Lizzie are two of her children, Verbie Davis (Mary Verbal Davis), age 16, and Cecil (Cecil Nevill Davis), age 23. Emory is 35 years old and married. Family speculation has it that Emory may have been looking for his older brother Lindley E. Vernon (born August 1858 in Marion County, Iowa; died July 6, 1918 in Upton, Weston County, Wyoming) who was present there in Sundance during the 1900 U.S. Census and living with Lizzie and her children, James Horace Davis, 28, Cecil Nevill Davis, 12, and Flossie Davis, 6. There was a period in time when no one in the family knew where Lindley was even though some of them had tried to find him much later without success. Lindley had moved into the Sundance, Crook County, Wyoming, area even before 1900.
