William Pansie, head, white, male, born in Apr [year blank], [age blank], married for 12 years, [birthplace blank], [parents’ birthplaces blank], farmer, #24 on farm schedule.
Grace M. Pansie, wife, white, female, born Oct 1868, age 31, married for 12 years, mother of 2 children of which both are living, born in New York, parents born in New York, can read, write, and speak English.

[This is obviously a very confused entry.  William Pansie appears to have been an orphan, or maybe to have run away from home at a young age.  Why his two children have New York and Wisconsin listed for their parents’ birthplaces is beyond me.]
