MARITAL STATUS - As a general rule only those who were married or widowed are recorded. If there is no entry as to married or single, it means single. OCCUPATION - Often the wife has the occupation of 'keeping house' which was not transcribed. ADDRESS - No addresses were copied, but are available on a lookup basis. BIRTH STATE - When possible I tried to read the county where born. The enumerators in some townships seemed to disregard instructions and entered Iowa instead of the county name... USE WITH CAUTION RELIGION - As recorded by the enumerator. CIVIL WAR SERVICE - Gives the company and unit including the state, in which the service occurred. The eccentricities of the census taker cannot be explained. Household numbers are sometimes inconsistent. Sometimes the same name is spelled in different ways, etc. Transcribed by Cay Merryman. If you find any errors, please bring them to my attention for correction. 76 1 1 Stroud Joseph 39 M M Marion IA Farmer ME 1 1 Stroud Lucinda 33 F M Monroe IA ME 1 1 Stroud Nellie 16 F S Mills IA ME 1 1 Stroud Lesta 15 F S Mills IA ME 1 1 Stroud Myrtle 13 F S Mills IA ME 1 1 Stroud Blanche 10 F S Mills IA 1 1 Stroud Fay 3 F S Mills IA 2 2 Stringfield Leveston 39 M M Mills IA Farmer ME 2 2 Stringfield Mary 28 F M WI ME 2 2 Stringfield Myrtle 9 F S Mills IA 2 2 Stringfield Mable 7 F S Mills IA 2 2 Stringfield Burton 4 M S Mills IA 2 2 Stringfield Christofer 1 M S Mills IA 3 3 Winger Samuel 38 M M Blackhawk IA Laborer ME 3 3 Winger Ollie 25 F M Montgomery IA ME 3 3 Winger Earl 2 M S Mills IA 4 4 Linville Henderson 77 M M TN Retired Christian 4 4 Linville Ursula 72 F M KY Christian 5 5 Morford John 58 M M IN Farmer U.
