George W. is now living in the home of his son William W. along with Williams wife Jennetta M. Walker, William N. (son), James L. ( son), and George S. (son).  George W. is now widowed after being married for 35 years. This would indicate that Hester passed early in the year of 1900. The 1910 census of the same source now shows Williams family growing. New additions to the family since the 1900 census are: Ann (daughter), John T. (son) and Mary E. (daughter). Williams father George W. is still living with the family. The 1920 census of the same above source now shows Williams family is getting smaller. William is now 54 and Jennette is 48. They are still farming. William N.  and Ann are now missing from the family as is Groege W.  who would be about 85 if he is still living.  Williams family on the census is now living next to the family of Frank Shannon. I believe this to be the same Frank Shannon who was enumerated as being next door to George W. on the 1880. This Frank is now 76 years and has remarried. New wife's name is Laura and she is 64. The 1920 census shows the home to be on River Road. The 1930 census of the same above source now only finds Lealand (Leonard) and John still living in Hanover both are on Main Cross St. 8 dwellings apart.
