      My research notes:
      In the 1900 Federal Census, John & Alice Borst are living at Gaines, Genesee Co., MI. With them are Sumner Hunter, 13, Alice's son by her first marriage; Mildred White, 10, Alice's daughter by her second marriage; and Gladys Borst, 10 months, daughter of John & Alice. According to the census data, John & Alice have been married 7 years. For some reason, Shirley Borst, age 7, born Jan 1893, is living with a family nearby; the census says she is "A. daughter" -- suggesting adopted daughter. It says she was born in MI, and her parents were born in Ireland & Germany. I cannot read the family name she is with (possibly begins with W), although the wife is Sarah and the 6-year-old son is Arthur.

      In 1910, John C. & Allie Borst are living at Flint, Genesee Co., MI. With them are children Shirley, Gladys, Hugh, & Fenton. According to the census data, Alice has had 6 children, and 5 are living at that time.

      In 1920 John C. & Allie G. Borst, ages 56 & 49, are living on Flushing Rd., Flint, Genesee Co., MI. With them are the following children: Hugh G. 16, Fenton R. 11, & Cecil J. 2 (adopted son). (Is Cecil J. the son also called James, or was James a son who died young?)

      In 1930, John C. & Alice G. Borst are living on Farley St., Flint, Genesee Co., MI. With them are sons Fenton R. & Cecil J., ages 20 & 12.
