The (-4G), etc. after the names indicates the number of generations before Erven Thoma Father was born ca 1886 in Missouri. Mother was born ca 1885 in Illinois. They were married, at ages 23 and 24 respectively, ca 1909. The 1920 Census for Missouri (T625_949, enum. dist. 148, page 1B, Ancestry.Com image #0404) shows a Harry Diehl, 34 years old. But his wife is Marie, born in Germany and there are no children listed. There is another Harry Diehl, 34 years old in the 1920 Census for Missouri (T625_958, supv. dist. 183, enum. dist. 540, page 1B, Ancestry.Com image #0282, lines 97-100, dwelling 17, family 26, dated January 2). He is working in a packing house. He was born in Missouri; his father in Illinois; his mother in Missouri. The family is living in ward 27 of St. Louis at 5840 N. Market St. Mildred is 9 years old and her brother Harry is 6. Her mother, Ida, is 35 years old. Ida and the children have no occupation but are in school. Ida was born in Illinois; her parents in Germany. The parents can read and write. The parents and Mildred can speak English. There is no mark for the boy Harry in that column. The 1930 Census for Missouri (T626_1244, supr. dist. 8, enum. dist. 221, page 3A, printed page #169, Ancestry.Com image #0913, dwelling 46, family 55, dated Apr. 3, lines 13-17) shows Mildred I. Diehl, 20 years old, living with her parents and siblings in ward 27, precinct 16, block 5551 of St. Louis (city) at 5864 Highland, Ave. Her father, Harry F. Diehl is 44 years old and was married at age 23. He and his parents were born in Missouri. He is a salesman for a biscuit maker. He was not a veteran and not a student currently. He is able to speak, read and write English. Mildred's mother, Ida B., is 45 years old and was married at age 24. She was born in Illinois; her parents in Germany. She had no occupation and was not in school. She could speak, read and write English. She was born in Missouri, her father in Missouri and her mother in Illinois. Her occupation was stenographer in an insurance company. Her brother Harry A. is 16 and her sister Lucille is 7 years and 10 months of age. They are both in school and have no occupation. They can read and write. The boy is marked as able to speak English but curiously Lucille is not marked for that ability. [It is probably an oversight.] They were born in Missouri; their father in Missouri; their mother in Illnois. The parents owns the house valued at $8,000 and they have a radio. She married Aloys J. Ricklin on 16 May 1934 at St. Edward's Church in St. Louis. The 1936 St. Louis (city) Directory lists Aloys J. (Mildred I) Ricklin, accountant at Gt. A & P Tea Co., with a home at 3131 Lackland Ave. Her husband's S.S. application, dated 25 Nov. 1936 gives 3131 Lackland Ave., St. Louis, MO as his address. Father may have died in Jul. 1938 in St. Louis. The 1942 St. Louis Dir. has Aloys J. (Mildred I) Rickland, accountant, with a home at 6401 Oleatha.
Her mother died in Jan. 1954 in St. Louis (city). The 1956 St. Louis Dir. shows Aloys J. Ricklin (Mildred), accountant at A & P, with a home at 6335 Pernod Ave. Her S.
