I found in the 1910 census for Warren County Warren Township, Indiana a Charles and Anna Hartz. Along with this I find a Thomas (former Smith) stating he was adopted, Thomas was 16 years old and at home working on the farm. Is there anyone out there who would check on the adoption. I am the neice of Thomas and working on Genealogy. . I can't find anything on his death. His wife was Opal Brown. I an trying to find when he died and where. Thomas had lung problems; I was told. Thomas and Opal lived in Marion Coounty in 1920 and was 25 at that time and living with her father Harry Brown and daughter Effie. In 1930 Opal is listed as Married. and 2 children, Virginia and James.
