NOTES:

1. The census also had data on race, but everyone was white, so it was not included above.

2. It was attempted to transcribe the above information exactly as written on the original document. Where the data was not readable, question marks were inserted.

3. Transcribed by Gordon Felland on 9/06/2007 from photocopies of the original census documents.
