NOTE: Center columns (#20 and #21) impossible to read due to census pages being tightly bound together into a volume.
This census taker seems to have marked "X" in Col. 5 (Sex) for Males and left Col. 5 blank for Females.
Census taker also used running count of residents instead lieu of using page line numbers.
