** Transcriber's Notes **
Please Note: The names of the persons listed in this census for this
institution were for the most part, quite readable despite lightness and
fading of the handwriting. The supplied birth months (many birth months
were left blank in the original census), birth years, and ages, were very
difficult to read due to lightness and fading; please exercise caution and
be aware that this information was very hard to read/interpret. What marks
have remained as "visible" may possibly take on a much different look than
what was originally intended by the Enumerator.
Columns above represent name, relation, color, gender, birth month, birth
year, age, marital status, birth place, father's birth place, mother's birth
place, year of immigration, occupation, can read, can write, can speak
English, home or farm.
Columns omitted are years married, number of children, number of living
children, years in United States, naturalization, months unemployed, months
at school, home owned or rented, home owned free or mortgaged, number of
farm schedule, as all entries were left blank in the original census.
Transcriber used the abbreviations Penn for Pennsylvania, Del for Delaware,
Mary for Maryland, Hung for Hungary, Aus for Austria, N Jer for New Jersey,
Scot for Scotland, R Isl for Rhode Island, Eng for England, Ire for Ireland,
Un for Unknown, and Y for yes.
No address given in census for this institution.
