The 1900 census found Joseph Pompoco (b. Oct 1872, Switzerland) and his wife Elizabeth (b. Apr 1874, Germany) living in Hyde Park (I think that’s a suburb of Chicago) with their three girls, Helen M. (b. My 1896, Ohio), Elizabeth L. (b. Jul 1897, Ohio), and Theresa (b. Nov 1899, Iowa). The census record also states that Joseph came to America in 1874 and Elizabeth in 1886. It’s hard to read Joseph’s occupation, but after a garbled part it definitley says “life ins. co.” They can both read and write and speak English, and they rent their home.
