** Transcriber's Remarks **
The columns above represent: Name, Relation, Color or Race,
Sex, Date of Birth (Mo. and Year), Age at Last Birthday,
Marital Status ("Whether Single, Married, Widowed, or Divorced),
Number of years married, Mother of how many Children, Number of
Children still Living, Place of birth of this person, Place of
Birth of Father, Place of Birth of Mother, Year of Immigration
to the US, Number of Years in this country, Naturalization,
Occupation, Months not employed, Attended school (in months),
Can Read, Can Write, Can Speak English,
Ownership of Home: Owned or Rented; Owned Free or Mortgaged;
Farm or House. Number of Farm Schedule.
According to this census, the address of the orphanage is "39 Murray St."
Only the column "Number of Farm Schedule" has been omitted from this
transcription. This column is blank for all persons listed.
The dashes and dotted lines in ALL cases are spaces left blank in the
original document.
1 First name of this person is obscured in part by census taker's writing of "65"; name appears to be "Georgia G." Small "x"s appear
in columns for "Own or Rent" and "Owned Free or Mortgaged", as opposed to "O" or "R", "F" or "M", as seen for non-orphanage others
enumerated on this sheet. "H" (for "house") actually looks like "LL".
2 The entry for "Years Married" on original document, has two strike-throughs. Looks like "22" was initial entry.
3 No entries for marital status, number of children and number of children living
5 Entry for "Years Married" bears a strike-through. What was there is hard to read, looks like "N".
9 Surname of this person appears to be "Meyer" but could be "Mi?yer" or "M?iyer"; middle initial is hard to read: looks like both "L"
and "M".
12 Middle letters in the first name of this person has been heavily blotted out in original document: it looks like "Alexander", but
can't say for sure. There is also another "Alexander Young" listed as #31. Age of #12 appears to be unknown. No indication on
original document whether 12 and 31 are the same person.
13 Surname of this person is hard to read; looks like "Ilg". Age appears to be unknown.
14 Year of birth for this person has been gone over heavily as if to make the year clearer, but it is hard to read: almost looks like either
1845 or 1895 or 1898
19 Middle initial for this person could be "T", "I", "J", possibly "F". Looks like "T".
23 Age appears to be unknown.
27 Surname looks like "Yunsan" but could possibly be "Funsan", or "A" or "Ofunsan"
28 Please see #27 directly above
29 First name could be "Victorine" or "Victorina" (looks like either of these), or Victoria.
31 Potentially, another "Alexander Young" can be found as #12 in listing. No indication on original document whether 12 and 31 are the same person.
36 First name is hard to read: could be "Marrin"; the second letter is not fully visible.
40 Birth year is not totally visible; looks like "1840"
49 Last name is hard to read: looks like "Maury" but could be "Meury" or "Mawry"
52 Surname looks like "Krauss" but could be "Krause"
65 The "Relation" entry was left blank in original document for this person
