I wonder if their son Edward was at home but the census taker was confused by the duplicate name and forgot to record him?

The next family was a John Hueber and wife Emily. John worked in a bake shop. Is this a relative of Olive?
Note: son Edward is not in the household, although alive. (He died in 1991.)
