This is Nina's g'grandmother, Mary Walker. Mary reports here that she has had 11 children, seven of whom are still alive. Based on their 25 years of marriage and the children's ages,  I would guess that at least one and probably two of the four who have died were born between Foster and Lewis/Louis and that the other two were older than Amie.

This family is listed by the enumerator (and therefore by Ancestry.com as well) as being of the black race. What I imagine happened is this: The enumerator took notes in a notebook during the actual interview with the family, then transcribed those notes to his official record pages when he returned to his room/office at the end of the day. I further imagine that  he forgot to record the family's race, and, since the previous family next door was black and he couldn't really recall correctly, he made his best guess and said black.
