Here's info from Kansas State Census records sent by the same nice volunteer. Clarifies the child Mantie/Montie Walter.
The following are entries from the 1855-1915 State census records
Mar 1, 1895 CHERRYVALE, MONTGOMERY, KS State Census:
WHITE
B.F. age 45 born WV
Emam, age 34, born WV
Zana, age 18, born WV
Clara age 14, born WV
Chester, age 11, born WV
Bessie, age 9, born KS
Forrest age 4, born KS
1905 Cherry, Montgomery, KS State Census...
WHITE
B.F. age 55,
Emma age 51
Chester age 21
Forest age 15
WALTERS
Zaney age 27
Monte age 8**
**This makes it look like Monte is daughter of Zaney, not of Benjamin and Emma??
1915 INDEPENDENCE, MONTGOMERY, KS State Census
WHITE
B.F. age 65, owner farm
F.L. age 25
Edith age 22**
** I suppose Edith may be wife of F.L. (Forest)
......................................................
** I wonder if Zana/Zaney and Jennie are the same person?
As Clara was not with the family in 1905 or 1915 she was likely married.

Hope this helps you, Cindy.Good luck with your research....Pauline
