Agnes Bloss, born in 1901, daughter of Sabina Arner and Milton Bloss is listed in the following U.S. Federal Censuses:
1910 - Agnes is 9 years old, living with her family in Sugarloaf, Luzern County, Pennsylvania
1920 - Agnes is 19, a live-in servant in the home of Mr. Lee Pardee, bank vice-president. She serves along with a cousin Viola M. Arner. They live in Hazelton, Luzern County, Pennsylvania
We've always known that Nana worked as a "nanny" in some one's home prior to being married. I have some wonderful embroidery that she did while there. It's so delicate and fine and old, it's ready to fall apart. Most of it is white thread on white cloth.
1930 - Agnes is now Agnes Bevan, age 29, having been married to Howard William Bevan in 1922. Interestingly, there are no children listed. Where are William, Robert and James? Howard is listed as a manager for A and P stores. They live on James Street, Hazelton; just one block west from Howard's family (Thomas, Sarah, Mary, Ethel and Ethel's husband Daniel Kaufmann). I guess I still need to find the kids. Perhaps they were staying with relative while Agnes and Howard moved (Papa moved for his job a lot).
