Mills County, Iowa
1895 Iowa State Census Records

Hillsdale ~ Family Data
The 1895 Iowa State Census gives the following information:
Surname / Given Name / Age / Sex / Married or Single / Occupation / State or Country of Birth / Religion / Civil War Service, if any.

The eccentricities of the census taker cannot be explained. Household numbers are sometimes inconsistent. Some of the marital categories are questionable, but I tried to copy them correctly even when it didn't seem right. Sometimes the same name is spelled in different ways etc. If the age of the child is too young to reasonably expect they would be married, the marital status is not given. Transcribed by Cay Merryman.
