[or-roots] 1930 Census look up please

[Leslie Chapman]

I have a Wade family living on the east side of 31st street in Portland
Oregon in 1930 who I haven't been able to find in the census when I have had
access to that census. I stumbled across someone I thought was them in the
1920 Census while chasing Bonnie's Smiths is why I am asking, just looked at
that again and realized head of household was a widower, so can't be them.

All I know for sure is their son is just around the corner, Lester Sherwood
Wade, b. 16 August 1902 in Winona County Minnesota.
I have tried there for him and his family, and this Wasco county family
really looks good, except Phoebe cuz says "the grandparents were around the
corner" so unless he remarried between 1920 and when she was living there
the ones I found don't work. What really frustrated me last time I had
access to the 1930 Census was I found Marg and Les right off the bat, and
could go in all sorts of directions from their house in the census for
blocks but not "just around the corner"

WAsco county sure rang a bell because I can remember Lester telling a story,
unfortunately I no longer remember for sure whether he was telling it on
himself or on a friend, but I think it was the latter, about racing past a
fruit vendor and snagging a quince and the expression on said childs face
part way down the block when he bit into his stolen "apple"
