** Transcriber's Notes **
A This is the name of the orphanage as given in the original census and is
probably not the actual name of the home. Also, no address was given but
it was enumerated side by side with enumeration for "Orphan Home Black"
(no address given here, either). Each of these orphanages had different
but consecutive numbers entered in the "order of visitation" columns and
were therefore transcribed here as separate institututions.
Columns above represent name, relation, color, gender, birth month, birth
year, age, marital status, number of children, number of living children,
birth place, father's birth place, mother's birth place, occupation, months
unemployed, months at school, can read, can write, can speak English, home
or farm.
Columns omitted are years married, year of immigration, years in United
States, naturalization, home owned or rented, home owned free or mortgaged,
number of farm schedule.
Transcriber used the abbreviations Ken for Kentucky, Un for Unknown, Ind for
Indiana, Ger for Germany, Miss for Missouri, and Y for yes.
Address of Orphanage: not given in original census.
This census was taken June 8, 1900 by J L. Wills, Enumerator.
2 Surname has a line through it; it is unclear whether the surname or line
was intended. The name could be crossed out or the surname may have
been entered as a correction to the straight line.
27 First name might be Ellie
33 First name looks like Lema, Lerna
36 Unable to read birth month
41 Hard to read; might possibly be Lorne
44-45 Birth month entries for these persons in the original document are
straight lines. It is unclear whether each straight line indicates
"unknown" or "same as the above".
