  • Notes 
    • It appears as though William E. and Ella had two roomers in 1930; Elmer V. Holsinger (age 39) and Lee M. Hayes (age 24). Living in Harrisburg, Dauphin, PA.

      It appears as though the name use to be spelled Detwiler without an "e" during the 1880 census.

      Rhea May Detweiler told her son Alan Donald Vibber that her grandmother Maude changed William Detwiler's last name to include an "e", Detweiler. The story is that Willam did not like this change, butyet let it occur.
