Per the 1930 U.S. Census, Asa and his mother, Etta Rogers were living in Onondaga Township. He indicated that he was not a veteran, indicating that he probably did not serve in WWI (most likely due to occupation).
A
possible daughter "Pauline Rogers" age 7 and born in Michigan is listed
on the 1930 Census record with Jessie; however, on her Asa's census
record for 1930, a daughter "Pauline Stricker" age 13 born in Indiana is
listed with him. This leads to some unresolved confusion concerning who
Pauline might have been.
