Notes for this census transcription:

Birth locations are listed according to the full name of the location when obvious (e.g. N.York = New York).
Quoted text (usually last names or occupations) is written out in full.
Dwelling 8, Family 9 appears to start with Thos Harmon, even though it starts with Fred Meyer on the census.
