In this 1920 Census, the Streeters are living in School District 37, Teton Co., Montana. The family moved closer to Bessie’s family the McFarlane’s. Another familiar neighbor was the Odells. Warren is working as a farmer.
~~~~~
Sadly on September 11, 1921, Warren lost his 2-year battle with Locomotor Ataxia and Syphilis. According to Wikipedia, People afflicted with this disease may walk in a jerky, non-fluid manner. They will not know where their arms and legs are without looking (i.e. a failure of proprioception) but can, for instance, feel and locate a hot object placed against their feet. It is often a symptom of tabes dorsalis, which is a key finding in tertiary syphilis. It is caused by degeneration of the posterior (dorsal) white column of the spinal cord.
This left Bessie a widow at 31 years old with 6 children.
~~~~~
On March 8, 1928, Bessie married Charles Edward Livingston in Belle Fourche, South Dakota. Charles was also widowed. Charles had been married twice before and had 5 children.
~~1930~~
The family is living in Granger, Harding Co., South Dakota. I think Charles filled out this census because everyone is listed as Livingston, and he was their father, not stepfather. Warren was born in Kansas and not Missouri. Bessie gave birth to Charles Jr a couple months after this, and that is why he is not listed.
~~~~~
On October 3, 1930, Fern married Raymond Miles in Belle Fourche, Butte Co., South Dakota.
