In 1870, 20 year old Sebastian Singer lived and worked on his parents' farm in Jefferson Twp., Noble County, Ohio with four of his siblings.In 1880, 30 year old farmer Sebastian Singer lived in Enoch Twp., Noble County, Ohio with his wife Mary Ann (25) and children Philomenia (5), Ablona (4), Isabel (2) and Felix (9 mos.). None of the children were old enough to attend school. Adjacent farms in the census belonged to Casper Schafer and William Merry.Dolores Snider states that the family moved from Noble Co., OH to Monroe Co., OH after 1882. They subsequently moved to Allegheny Co., PA.By the time of the 1900 census, Sebastian Singer (50) and his wife Anna (43) rented a residence at 140 Camp Ave., Braddock, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania where they lived with their children Felix (20), Marie (18), Clemens 16), Catherine (11) and Harry J. (7). The youngest two children attended school. Sebastian was employed as a day laborer. The Singers were one of six families living at that address.Sebastian was known as "Bass." In North Braddock, the local polling place was at the firehouse. On voting day, Bass' friends and relatives would convince him that he needed to announce the opening and closing of the polls. (This, of course, is not the case. There is no such requirement.) Bass would stand outside the firehouse and yell at the top of his lungs, "Dese here polls is now open!!!" and "Dese here polls is now closed!!!" (source: Sebastian Singer's nephew, Edward L. Schweinberg)
