NOTE: Center columns (#20-#21) impossible to read due to census pages being tightly bound together into volume.
Can't read first digit of Unimproved Acres due to binding.
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.
