Reading notes

Things to be careful about

  • Manual transcription created from the census image because local OCR tools were unavailable.
  • The head of household is written as Jerry Armstrong, a common shortened form of Jeremiah.
  • The child line is written as Thomas H, age 5, which likely points to the repo's Thomas Herman Armstrong but conflicts with that person's current birth date of 1 March 1878.
  • The wife is recorded as Mary Magd; this may abbreviate Mary Magdalene or Mary Margaret, but the census alone is not sufficient to resolve the expansion.
