** Transcriber's Notes **
Please Note: Enumerator has written across "can read, can write, can
speak English" columns: "All over ten can read, write and speak English".
Also, for persons #67-72, and #76-82, Enumerator listed "place of birth" as,
what looks like "Native NS"; might be "Native US".
Columns above represent name, relation, color, gender, birth month, birth
year, age, marital status, birth place, father's birth place, mother's birth
place, year of immigration, years in United States, naturalization,
occupation, months unemployed, months at school, can read, can write, can
speak English, home owned or rented, home owned free of mortgaged, home or
farm.
Columns omitted are years married, number of children, number of living
children, number of farm schedule (all columns were left blank in the
original census).
Transcriber used the abbreviations Miss for Missouri, Mich for Michigan,
Ill for Illinois, Penn for Pennsylvania, Kan for Kansas, N York for
New York, and Y for yes.
No address given in census for this orphanage.
This census was taken June 6, 1900 by Justin M. Ranney, Enumerator.

42-45 Missing letters of surname above are hard to decipher; sort of looks
like Von Ottenheim, but might be more like Von St?enheim, "Von F???heim",
or some other variation. There does seem to be interference from the "z"
and "g" on the line directly above (surname is written once in the
original census). First name for #42 is hard to read; looks like Argst/
Angst, or Argeb ...

"NS") but might be "Native US".

say for certain.

original census as 1/12 (i.e., 1 month).
76-82 Place of birth for these persons is entered as "Native NS" (looks like,
"NS") but might be "Native US".
