1930 census from "National Home" in california where retired military men were housed. This record indicates that Lewis Thorne was a veteran of the Civil War. It's strange that this 1930 census record lists Lewis Thorne as well as the 1930 census listing Lewis with the Priors. But both seem to be a record of the same person.
