6.  1920 Census Index/Images (online at Ancestry.com, Image #13 of 48):  Brockwayville Borough, Jefferson Co., PA, Roll 1575 (Book 1), p. 57A, SN 7A, SD 18, ED 140, 117/144, enumerated 8 Jan 1910, official enumeration date 1 Jan 1920 (extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen):¤•

This record is too faded to read, no doubt the reason it's not indexed.  What I can tell is that the household consists of William Stroup (57), Ora A. (53), Marie A. (24), ___ Lin? (15), ___ B. (11). It's too bad I can't read the son's names because it appears Lynn's first name is spelled out.
