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. 644 1 1 Boyer Robert L. 48 M M MO Farmer 1 1 Boyer Nancy B. 51 F M MO Methodist 1 1 Boyer Eva 12 F S Mills IA 2 2 McCluskey Albert 24 M M KS Farmer 2 2 McCluskey Annie A. 21 F M Mills IA Methodist Co.
