Fourteenth Census of the United States: 1920 Melrose Precinct, Arthur County, Nebraska Transcription of the hand-written census records is always complex. There are a number of issues which make this task difficult, time consuming, and fraught with possible error. Among these are: * the quality of the original writer's penmanship and writing materials; * the physical condition of the original document: water damage, torn pages, etc.; * the often poor quality of the microfilm copies available to the transcriber. I have attempted to decipher as much information as possible. Where impossible, I have used asterisks (*) to indicate the unknown characters. There will undoubtedly be some misinterpretations. If you find errors in the content of this document, please feel free to let me know so they can be corrected. The columns from the census included in this document are as follows: o A. Household number o B. Name o C. Relationship to head of household o D. Sex o E. Race (W=White, B=Black, M=Mulatto, I=Indian) o F. Age o G.
