Reading notes
Things to be careful about
- Manual transcription created from the image-backed census page because local OCR tools were unavailable.
- The wife is recorded as "Leta" on this census page; this source is linked to Lola Louise Seem based on the household context and Shirley's authoritative birth certificate.
- Emma's age appears to be 3 with an added fractional-month notation that is not fully legible in this copy.
- Shirley's age is written as 4/12, which is consistent with her birth certificate date of 4 January 1930.
- House and family numbers were not normalized because the left-margin numerals are difficult to read in this image.
