The house was rented (“R”). Everyone could read, write and speak English. Harriet had borne five children (her daughter’s typescript), two of whom had died young, so “3 children” is short by two; “3 living” (Horace, Mollie and Richard) is right.
In August 1900 the Post-Intelligencer described the house as on the corner of Thirty-second Avenue
and East Union Street, and Emil as working in its business office
(newspapers-seattle-post-intelligencer-holbrook-pfeiffer-1890-1900).
