I didn't expect to see Alma listed with the Weather Bureau. It looks as though Alma helped out with the weather station when Papa Charles was indisposed or out of town. It is pleasing that she is listed separately.

1.
This is one of two series of documents that I have uploaded.
The first series features Papa Charles in his Government Weather Observer role.
The second series published items over the years about Will's Army work for the Army Corps of Engineers.
You can find the both lists here:
2.
William P. Stokey...do [Ohio]...do [Ohio]...Stark...18th...do [West Point, New York]...$540.00
I wondered if Will had to pay room and board at West Point, and found this on the West Point web page:
At West Point, we believe every cadet (student) needs to be free from financial worries so they can focus on academic success and becoming a leader of character in service to the nation.
Thus, West Point tuition is free.
West Point does not charge for room, board, or medical and dental coverage. Plus, cadets receive a salary covering all other fees, leaving them between $225 and $625 in monthly spending.
Every West Point graduate receives a top-tier education, unparalleled leadership training, and friends that will last a lifetime - all without incurring student loan debt or draining their parents’ savings.
It's conceivable that things were different in the 1890s, but I tend to doubt it.
The internet told me that $540 in 1899 is worth about $19,000 today.
Papa Charles was earning $500 is 1872, which is worth about $15,000 today - see: So Will's West Point salary must have been terribly exciting for his family.
3.
Charles F. Stokey...Ohio...Ohio...Stark...18th...Canton, Ohio...p.m. 1.00
I figure "p.m." stands for per mensem, i.e. per month.
4.
Miss Alma G. Stokey...do [Ohio]...do [Ohio]...Stark...18th...Canton, Ohio....p.d. .20
I figure "p.d." stands for per diem. If Papa Charles was paid a dollar a month and Alma was paid 20 cents a day, then it sounds as though Papa Charles sent in a report to the Weather Bureau once a week.
This is one of two series of documents that I have uploaded.
The first series features Papa Charles in his Government Weather Observer role.
- The previous document in the series is: 1899-04-19 NEWSPAPER ARTICLE EXCERPT FEATURING PAPA CHARLES
- The next document in the series is: 1900-05-11 NEWSPAPER ITEM FEATURING PAPA CHARLES
The second series published items over the years about Will's Army work for the Army Corps of Engineers.
- The previous document in the series is: (There is none. This is the first.)
- The next document in the series is: 1903-04-18 NEWSPAPER ITEM MENTIONING WILL
