This census was taken on the 1st day of June, 1900, by William H. Gale,
Enumerator.

   respectively.  Birthplace for this person given in the original document
   was Wisconsin.  Age for this person was given as 11.
27 Birth month and birth year given for this person was Aug, 1888, 
   respectively.  Birthplace for this person given in the original document
   was Illinois.  Age for this person was given as 11.
30-33  Enumerator's style of entry for these persons seems to indicate that 
       at least three of the children are siblings to each other but the 
       information given, if correct, would appear to indicate otherwise.  
       The original handwriting of information for these children appears to 
       be very clear in the census but are nevertheless footnoted here. The 
       information provided for each in the original census is as follows:
       
       30  Birth month, year, and age given for this person in the original 
           document was June, 1891, 8, respectively.  This person's entry 
           occurs on last line of first census sheet for the listing of this 
           orphanage (as such, no real indication of familial relation to 
           31-33). 
       31  Birth month, year, and age, given for this person in the original 
           document was Dec, 1891, 8, respectively.  This person's entry 
           occurs on first line of second census sheet for the listing of 
           this orphanage; "Nelson" is spelled out.
       32  Birth month, year, and age, given for this person in the original 
           document was Jun, 1892, 7, respectively.  The surname is not 
           written out for this person but is referenced to the surname on 
           the line above by ditto-type markings, as is the person on line 
           33.
