** Transcriber's Remarks **
Columns above represent Name, Age at last birthday, Sex, Color (W - White,
B - Black, M - Mulatto, C - Chinese, I - Indian),Occupation, Place of Birth,
Father of Foreign birth, Mother of Foreign birth, Attended school within this
year. The slashes made by the census taker in the original document for
certain columns (Father of Foreign birth, Mother of Foreign birth, and Attended
school within this year) were replaced in this transcription with a "Y" for "yes",
for easier viewing.
Columns ommitted from this transcription include Value of Real Estate, Value
of Personal Estate, If born within the year, If married within the year,
Cannot Read, Cannot Write, Whether deaf and dumb, blind, insane, or idiotic,
Male Citizens of U.S. of 21 years of age and upward, Male Citizens of U.S. of
21 years of age and upward whose right to vote is denied or abridged on other
grounds than rebellion or other crime. The entries for all were left blank
by the census taker.
For reasons unknown, adult caretakers were not enumerated.
The name of the orphanage is not given explictly in this census other than
"Orphans Asylum". No street address is given.
This census was taken on the 29th day of July, 1870, by H. W?. Horbach.
This enumerator used many flourishes and loops in the script. At times the
small "a" could possibly be "u". Capital letters C,D,F,G H, and T are difficult
to distinguish. Some first names appear to be abbreviated, such as Catherine,
Robert, Patrick, Margaret, Michael and Richard. It appears that a surname
left blank, indicated the child was a family member of the person above. This
transcriber has noted the blank space with the above surname. A ? notes
illegible handwriting. An attempt to ascertain surname is noted here.
