Mildred was the daughter of William Henry Dutcher and Sylvia Gertrude Campbell, who married on 4 May 1907 in Marshall Co., Indiana. I found five children for them—Mildred Winifred (7 Mar 1908 – 5 May 1996), Donald Harold (31 Jan 1910 – 19 May 1994), Violet Virginia (25 Jul 1916 – unconfirmed 20 May 1979 married name Claxton), Keith W. (26 Feb 1923 – 25 Jan 1999), and Ruth Geneva (9 Feb 1926 – 2 Sep 2009 married name Myers).
The 1910 Census placed the family on E. Marion St. in Penn Township, St. Joseph County, Indiana. William Dutcher, aged 25, was working as an upper cutter for the Mishawaka Woolen Company, makers of rubber and woolen footwear. Sylvia, aged 20, was home with their two young children—Mildred, aged 2, and 2-month-old Harold.
By the next decade’s census in 1920, the family was living in Polk Township, Marshall Co., Indiana. William Dutcher, aged 35, had turned his talents to farming. Sylvia, aged 30, was keeping house. There with their parents were Mildred, aged 12, Harold, aged 10, and 3-year-old Violet.
The family was still living in Polk Township when the 1930 Census came around. William Dutcher, aged 45, was working as a laborer in a gravel pit. Silvia, aged 40, was keeping house. Still living at home with their parents were Donald, aged 20, Violet, aged 13, Keith, aged 7, and 4-year-old Ruth.
Mildred was not longer living at home with her parents and siblings. Circa 1923, she had married Paul Tribbey, the man who would be the father of her twelve children—Paul William (18 May 1924 – 29 May 2013), Donnabelle Erdeen (19 Dec 1925 – living as of 2018), Betty June (9 Jun 1927 – 3 Jan 2010), James Dennis (8 Oct 1928 – 14 Nov 2013), Russell Donald (1 Apr 1930 – 23 Feb 2006), Robert Leon (30 Oct 1931 – living as of 2018), Norma Lee (30 Mar 1933 – 16 Aug 1998), Kenneth Gordon (7 Oct 1934 – 2 Mar 1978), Virginia Ann (26 Jun 1936 – 24 Feb 1990), Lawrence Eugene (13 Jun 1938 – living as of 2018), Clarence Duane (25 Aug 1939 – living as of 2018), and Joyce Fern (27 May 1942 – unknown).
The 1930 Census placed the family in Polk Township in Marshall Co., Indiana. Paul Tribbey, aged 27, was working as a section hand for the railroad. Mildred, aged 22, was home with their four young children—Paul Jr., aged 5, Donnabelle, aged 4, Betty, aged 2, and 1-year-old James.
When the 1940 Census came around, the family was living in Green Township in Marshall County. Paul Tribbey, aged 37, was wrecking cars for a wrecking company. Fun! Mildred, aged 32, was crazy busy at home tending to the needs of a household that included eleven children—Paul Jr., aged 15, Donnabelle, aged 14, Betty, aged 12, James, aged 11, Russell, aged 10, Robert, aged 8, Norma, aged 7, Kenneth, aged 5, Virginia, aged 3, Lawrence, age 1, and 7-month-old Clarence. Daughter Joyce would join the family two years later.
The census records run out here. In 2022, the 1950 Census will add another decade of events to the Tribbey’s story. The family lived near Argos, and lucky for researchers, the local paper, the Argos Reflector, featured news items about the family that run through the forties.
