This is the 1930's census for Henry Seiter and his family. Click on picture to enlarge.
Henry was living with his second wife, Elizabeth and their 2 daughters, Elizabeth and Lucille in a house he owned in Bellerose ,Queens on 41st avenue. The value of the house was $6000.
Notably, in column 9, they are listed as owning a Radio Set!
Also listed is a son of Henry, named Peter E Seiter. I have never heard of a reference to a Peter Seiter before and can find no other information on him. He is listed as a clerk at a newspaper.
I knew Lucille and she told me that Henry and Elizabeth only had 2 children [Elizabeth & Lucille], so Peter is not actually Henry's son. Elizabeth's three children from a previous marriage included one son named Emile Myers [who is listed as Henry's son in the 1920 census], therefore it is unclear who Peter Seiter actually is.
Lucille and Elizabeth Seiter were the half siblings of my grandfther, James Seiter and his siblings, Anna, John, Henry [#2], Dorothy and Edward [whose mother, Catherine (Marr) Seiter died in 1914]
The ages are listed as:
Henry 48
Elizabeth 49
Peter 20
Lucille 12
Elizabeth 6
