• Here are my notes about this document:
  • Earlier I thought—like the (modern) transcriber—that the family's address was 108 Farmers Avenue. But actually I think 108 probably means this was the 108th house visit by this census taker, and the house number (shown in a different column) is actually 111-41 Farmers Avenue. See this address today in Google Maps.
  • Although the transcriber interpreted the handwritten house value as $45000, I think it probably actually says $4500.
  • Jerome's occupation is Retail Dealer, Hardware, working on own account.
