It's a mystery why the enumerator didn't put "mother-in-law" in the relationship column for Nancy. Also, Wilson and Maria are living in Nancy's house, so she could hardly be considered a boarder in her own home! Living four doors from Maria's half-brother, John J. STRAUB, who is living next door to Martha (CORBIN) BENSLEY, widowed sister-in-law of Maria's brother, George Washington STRAUB.

6b. 1910 Census Images (online at Ancestry.com): can't find, and I did a page-by-page search of Paragould (both EDs), Green Co., AR, but the enumerator's handwriting was barely legible, so I could have missed them.

Maria is living with her brother, Benjamin Franklin STRAUB, who died in 1921, which is presumably why we find her back in Arkansas by 1926.
