Halloween Party Invitation, Lancaster, Pa., October 31, 1912
Eight years after Alice Graybill and her sisters held their Halloween party at 718 North Plum Street in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, the 1920 United States Federal Census recorded that the Graybills still lived at the same address. Alice was 31 years old in 1920, and she worked as a weaver in a silk mill. The census listed Alice as the owner of the home and the head of the household.
There were six family members living at the house on Plum Street that year:
-- Alice W. Graybill, 31, single, head of the house, weaver, silk mill
-- Susan W. Graybill, 29, sister, weaver, silk mill
-- Ada W. Graybill, 27, sister, cleaner, silk mill
-- Weidler Graybill, 25, brother, machinist, machine shop
-- Marie Graybill, 15, sister, winder, silk mill
-- Grace Graybill, 12, sister, no occupation listed
So at the time of their Halloween party in 1912, Alice and her sisters would have been about 23, 21, 19, 7, and 4 years old (perhaps they allowed brother Weidler at age 17 to attend, too).
Alice eventurally married, and as Alice Graybill Harrington (1888-1969) she lived to the age of 80.
For some other early twentieth-century Halloween invitations, see:
-- Witches Watch Halloween Party Invitation, October 31, 1914
-- A Halloween Masquerade Invitation! October 23, 1920
-- Greetings for Halloween—Invitation for Revelry on Mystic Halloween, 1923
Yourself and friend are cordially invited to attend
A Hallowe'en Party
to be given at the home of
Alice Graybill and sisters
On Thursday evening, October the thirty-first
nineteen hundred and twelve
No. 718 North Plum Street, Lancaster, Pa.
