Census Notes for Allen & Emma Dora (Family)
1910 census of Bath Co., Ky, district 4, enumerated 22 April, lists on p. 9B as family #199/213:

Felix may not really be Allen’s son. He does not appear with the family in the 1900 census. On the other hand, I can’t find him in any other household either.
