The 1920 United States Federal Census lists Ellen C. Newmann, an 8-year-old girl living with her family in Allentown Ward 12, Lehigh, Pennsylvania. Ellen was born in New York around 1912, and her family resided on St. John Street. The census details her household, including her father, Hugo H. Newmann, born in Bohemia, and her mother, Catherine J. Newmann, born in Belgium. Ellen's siblings, Harvey and George, are also recorded, indicating a family of five. This census entry situates Ellen's family within the broader context of early 20th-century immigrant communities in Pennsylvania.
These records provide insight into the demographic and cultural composition of Allentown at the time, illustrating the diverse origins of its residents and highlighting the integration of immigrant families into American society during the post-World War I era.

The 1940 United States Federal Census record for Ellen Drury provides insight into her life during that year. Ellen, aged 28 and born in New York, was living in Harrisburg, Dauphin, Pennsylvania, with her husband John Drury and their children, John Jr. and Elizabeth. She was recorded as a homemaker, indicating no income from work in 1939, and had completed the first year of college. This record places Ellen within a broader context of American domestic life in the late 1930s and early 1940s, a period marked by the lingering effects of the Great Depression and the beginnings of World War II.
Additionally, Ellen's personal history includes a birth in Haverstraw, New York, in 1911, and an immigration record noting her arrival in New York City in 1928 from Hamburg, Germany. These details reflect the diverse migratory and educational experiences that shaped many Americans' lives during the early 20th century. The census data situates Ellen's family in the urban environment of Harrisburg, contributing to our understanding of urban growth and demographic changes in the United States during this time.

The 1950 United States Federal Census records Ella E. Drury living in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. At age 38, she is identified as a married, white female, originally from New York, working as a demonstrator in the "Dis El Co" industry. Ella resided at 512 Johnson St, with her role in the household marked as "wife." This census provides insight into post-World War II urban living conditions and women's roles in the workforce, reflecting the broader economic and social dynamics of mid-20th century America.
Ellen Elizabeth Neumann, born on July 29, 1911, in Haverstraw, New York, is linked to this historical context. She arrived in New York on May 6, 1928, and later resided in various Pennsylvania cities, including Philadelphia in 1950. Her journey from Germany, educational background, and eventual settlement in the U.S. highlight the immigrant experiences of the early 20th century. These records connect individual lives to broader themes of migration, urbanization, and economic change.
