    Notes:

    Memo:
    The obituary for Harry Ezra Roe lists Mr. & Mrs Hadden Roe as his parents. This information, given to the newspaper by a family member, is obviously wrong. The Marriage Registration for Harry Roe and Ella Depuy clearly shows David Roe and Jane Scott as his parents. The 1900 Federal Census shows a Harrie (Harry) Roe living in the household of John Hadden. It is known that Harry Roe was an orphan living on a farm so it is probable that this is the source of the name Hadden.

    Census:
    The 1900 Federal Census shows a Harry Roe, 15, living in the household of Oscar Roe, 31, his brother. Also living in this household was his sister-in-law, Ada F. Roe, 35, and his niece, Beula, 5. Both Harry Roe and Oscar Roe where shown as Farm Laborers. There is some probability that this is Harry Ezra Roe but more proof would be needed. The fact that he was an orphan supports this. We also know that he was a farm laborer before he started working for the railroad.

    Census:
    The 1910 Federal Census shows a Harry Roe, 25, living as a border in the household of Charles E. Hawks. Among the 16 boarders at this household was a Burt Roe, 23, but no relationship to Harry Roe was indicated. All of the boarders at this household were shown to be employed by the railroad. Harry Roe was listed as a fireman with the railroad. There is a very high probability that this is Harry Ezra Roe. We know that he was a locomotive engineer and this strongly supports that.

    Residence:
    His World War I Draft Registration Card shows that he lived at Maybrook, NY with his wife, Ella Roe, employed by C. & E. R.R. as a Locomotive Fireman. It also shows that he was tall, medium build with grey eyes and dark hair.

    Census:
    He was listed as Harry Roe, the 36 year old head of the household working for the Railroad as a Fireman. Also listed as living in this household were his wife, Ella 30; his sons, Harry 9, Charles 6 and Carl 3yrs and 10mo; and his daughters, Anna Mae 8 and Cora 1yr 3mo.

    Census:
    He was listed as Harry Roe, the 44 year old head of the household working for the Railroad as a Fireman. Also listed as living in this household were his wife, Ella D. 39; his sons, Harry 19, Charles H. 16, Carl 14, Lawrence 7 and George D. 4yrs 5mo; and his daughters, Anna M.18, Cora H. 11, Mildred 9, Mary 3yrs 7mo and Sarah J. 1yr 4mo.

    Census:
    He was listed as Harry Roe, head of household, a married white 54 year old locomotive fireman living at second street in Maybrook, NY in a rented house. Also listed as living in this household were his wife, Ella 50; his sons, Laurence 17, George 14, William 9, Anthony 6 and Howard 4; his daughters, Mary 13 and Sarah 11.

    Died:
    "WALDEN -- Harry E. Roe Sr., of 15 Hillside Ave., husband of the late Luella DePew Roe, died on Thursday (Aug 19, 1971) after a long illness.

    Born in Gardiner, Feb 3, 1884, son of the late Mr. and Mes. Hadden Roe, he had lived in Walden for 8 years.
