In the 1930 Census for Midland County, Hope Township, Their children listed as:
1. Margaret (age 15),
2. Anna (age 14),
3. Mary (age 11),
4. Helen (age 9),
5. Patrick (age 7),
6. Mack (age 4 yr 10 mo),

"Robbie Maxwell ... was never one to let a chance go by for a good laugh. It seems that one day, Cordy West of Edenville went to Hope and told the boys that there wasn't enough boys in all of Hope to take him. So the boys waited patiently for their chance, and it soon came. One day Cordy had taken a sow to market in Midland, and he happened to stop off at a saloon where Robbie and a few other Hope boys saw him. They waited and later when Cordy came out, they jumped him, and after tying him up, put him in the sow's crate. Then they tied the reins in place, and giving the horse a smart crack sent it on its way back home. Everyone had a good laugh, but Cordy, and the boys made sure they stayed out of his way for a long time after that." [appeared in Stan Berriman's Upper Tittabawassee River Boom Towns]
