The enumerator is listed as Chas. A Clark, but the handwriting changes midway through the enumerations. This change coincides with the beginning of the predominately German section of the county. Although there's no proof, there may have been an interpreter used to communicate with the German immigrants of the county. 3 Townships can be found on the following pages: Division Page ======== ==== Township 40 Range 23 225 - 234 Township 39 Range 23 234 - 249 Township 38 Range 23 250 - 251 Township 38 Range 22 251 - 252 Township 39 Range 22 253 - 263 Township 39 Range 20 264 Township 39 Range 22 265 - 267 Township 38 Range 21 268 - 270 Township 39 Range 22 270 Township 38 Range 21 271 Township 39 Range 21 273 - 281 Township 40 Range 21 281 - 288 Township 38 Range 20 288 - 289 Township 39 Range 20 289 - 293 Township 40 Range 20 294 - 299 Township 41 Range 23 299 - 310 Township 42 Range 23 310 - 321 Township 43 Range 23 321 - 324 Township 41 Range 22 326 - 327 Township 41 Range 23 328 Township 41 Range 22 329 - 340 Township 42 Range 22 340 - 347 Township 43 Range 22 348 - 349 Township 40 Range 22 349 - 363 Warsaw City 365 - 380 Township 41 Range 20 379 - 387 Township 41 Range 21 388 - 399 Township 42 Range 21 399 - 410 Township 43 Range 21 410 - 421 Township 43 Range 20 422 - 435 Township 42 Range 20 435 - 447 4 The enumerator had some trouble spelling the German surnames in the county. Below is a listing of the enumerator's spellings, and the way the surnames are typically spelled by the German families today. (Thanks to Homer Ficken, Benton County Coordinator and proofreader for this transcription.) Note that the transcriber's familys names were spelled wrong (Tietjen & Hagenah), and the proofreader's Ficken surname was enmerated as "Feiken". We're not immune to misspellings either!
