** 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.
