Notes:  In the 1900 U.S. census, Anna Ichter, then age 9 years, was living with her parents, John W. Ichter and Janet E. Dunlop, at 72 Mary Street in Ashley, Luzerne, Pennsylvania.  Luzerne was a suburb of Wilkes-Barre.  She had two younger brothers, John age 7, and George, age 3 years.  Also living in the household was Anna Dunlap, her maternal grandmother.  Her father was a railroad engineer.

By the 1910 U.S. census, the household included two more brothers, Lester, then age 6 and Donald, age 3 years.  Her brother John was a laborer in a boiler shop, and brother George was a newspaper boy.  Anna Dunlap was still living with the family.

In 1910, the Wilkes-Barre Directory lists John W. as an engineer, Anna E. as a resident, and John H., a resident and laborer, all at 72 Mary.  In 1911, the Ashley Directory lists Anna as a nurse and resident, and John, Jr., as a plumber.  In 1917, the Greater Wilkes-Barre Directory now lists Janet as the widow of John.  Anna is listed as supervisor of nurses at City Hospital, and Lester is listed as a stockman for Charles Tremayne.

Anna married in 1918, leaving the household.  In the 1920 USA census, Janet is now head of the household.  One additional daughter had been born since 1910.  This is Jean, now age 7 years.  She and Donald were going to school.  Also still living at home were George, a locomotive fireman, and Lester, a railroad clerk.

In the 1935 city directory, 72 Mary Street was still the family home.  Janet was sharing it with her youngest two children, Donald and Jean.  Janet died 17 May 1939 at Anna's home in Vermont.  Her death certificate lists 72 Mary St., Ashley, Pennsylvania as her home.
