Although some sources list 2 more children,
Milta O. Finger b 1912 and
George E. Finger b 1914, these appear to be in error. Of interest, there are 2 children by these names and ages on the 1930 Pulteney, Steuben, New York census, but they are the children of
Milta and
Alice Updike. The 1920 and 1930 censuses show only
Cristene as Ward and Sarah's child, in addition, Ward's WWI draft registration (1918) says he has 1 child.
