Susan was the daughter of Andrew Jackson Hall and Persis Louisa Martin, who married on 16 Apr 1850. On the 1900 Census, Persis reported having had six children. Their names were Hester (b. ca. 1851), Simeon (b. ca. 1853), Franklin (b. 14 May 1854), Clark (b. ca. 1858), John (b. ca. 1860), and Susan A. (9 Nov 1861 – 18 Mar 1937).
I found Susan’s newly-wed parents on the 1850 Census, living in the Plymouth area (mistakenly noted as My Division), Marshall Co., Indiana. An. J. Hall, aged 20, was a farmer. Persis, aged 18, was keeping house.
The 1860 Census placed the in Bourbon, Marshall County. A.J. Hall, aged 30, was busy with the farm. Louisa (aka Persis), aged 27, had her hands full at home caring for their home and their five young children—Hester, aged 9, Simeon, aged 7, Franklin, aged 6, Clark, aged 2, and John, aged 7 months. Also living with the family was 54-year-old Mary Hall, noted as the housekeeper, but likely related to Andrew, given that Hall surname. With here were two children—Stephen M., aged 18, and Amanda, aged 12.
The year after that census, the family lost head-of-household Andrew on 8 Dec 1861, aged 31. It would have been a sad Christmas that year.
The rest of the family was still living in Bourbon in 1870. Head of household was Susan’s mother Louisa, widowed, aged 38. Still at home with their mother were five of the six children—Simeon, aged 18, Franklin, aged 16, Clark (noted as a daughter named Clara on the record), aged 13, John, aged 10, and Susan, aged 8.
By the 1880 Census, only two of the children were still living with their mother in Bourbon. Louisa Hall, aged 48, was keeping house. Son John, aged 20, was doing farm labor. Susan, aged 18, had just graduated from high school.
Two years after that census, Susan married Edward D. Schrom on 2 Sep 1882 in Marshall Co. Edward was the son of German immigrants Jacob Schrom and Catherine Gilcher. Three years later, they welcomed daughter Bessie E. in May of 1885.
The 1900 Census placed the family in Tippecanoe Township, Marshall Co., Indiana. Edward Schrom, aged 59, was farming. Susan, aged 35, reported that she had had just one child. Daughter Bessie was 15 years old by that census year. Living with the family was Susan’s 68-year-old widowed mother Persis Louisa Hall.
Three years after that census, Edward and Susan’s daughter Bessie married first-husband Guy Walter Parsons on 19 Mar 1903 in Marshall County. Edward and Susan became first-time grandparents when Bessie and Guy welcomed son Charles Edward on 8 Dec 1907.
The rest of the family was still living in Tippecanoe Township when the 1910 Census was taken. Edward, aged 49, was still farming. Susan, aged 48, told the enumerator that she had not had any children. She likely misunderstood the question, thinking he or she wanted to know how many children were living with the couple. Still living in the home was Susan’s mother Persis, aged 78.
Later that same year, another grandchild joined the family, in the person of Bessie and Guy’s son Joseph C., born on 3 Nov 1910.
A couple years after that census, Edward got quite a scare. (From: The Weekly Republican, Plymouth, IN – Thu 22 Feb 1912 pg. 8) “Edward Schrom fell from a wagon Monday in such a way as to need the help of a physician to sew up the wounds. He had the flat rack on the wagon and the rear stake had been removed. Some way he stepped backward to the rear of the rack and off to the ground. ‘Twas a mercy he did not get killed. The team was hitched to the wagon at the time.”
The 1920 Census noted the family at 315 Sophia St. in Plymouth. Edward, aged 59, had found work in a printing office. Susan, aged 58, was keeping house. Her mother Persis was still with the family, aged 87 that census year. She would die the following year on 28 Nov 1921.
As it turned out, the trip to the cemetery to lay Persis to rest was Susan’s second trip that month. On 5 Nov 1921, she also lost her helpmate and companion Edward, aged 61.
Sometime in that decade between 1920 and 1930, Edward and Susan’s daughter Bessie divorced and married second-husband Harry Albert Swanson. Susan also took another chance at love, wedding Ethan Allen Kizer. They appeared together on the 1930 Census, living in North Township, Marshall County. Ethan Kizer, aged 66, was a farmer. Susan, aged 68, was keeping house. Living with their father and step-mother were sons Gilbert R., aged 26 and noted as a jeweler with his own shop, and Marshall F., aged 23.
Seven years after that census, Susan died on 18 Mar 1937, aged 75.
