American Cousins - Part 2

According to the 1920 US Federal Census, John is living in Detroit working as a bricklayer for the Ford Motor Co. He and Eveline have 5 children who remain in the US, which establishes another set of American cousins for us.

This picture is not great quality but I can definitely see the resemblance between John and William.

We have a funeral card for John when he passes away in 1937, I can assume that while this Anderson branch lived in the US there were regular visits from both sides of the border.

I have also attached the US Census form for 1920 - Anderson's are the last entry on the page.
