** Transcriber's Remarks **

Please Note: The Enumerator wrote across the census page "Parents birthplace 
of these children unknown."

Columns above represent name, relationship, gender, month and year born, 
age, marital status, number of years married, how many children born, how 
many children still living, birthplace, father's birthplace, mother's 
birthplace, and occupation.

Columns omitted were: race, as all were white; immigration, as info given 
only for #6 (see below); months unemployed, as the adults had not been 
unemployed; months in school, as no information was given; education, as all 
adults could read, write and speak English and no information was given for 
the children; and housing information, as info was given for only #1 (see 
below).

Transcriber abbreviated Pennsylvania as Penn, Superintendent as Supt, 
Indiana as Ind, Canada as Can, Illinois as Ill, and Wisconsin as Wis.
