Transcriber's Notes:
Volume and Book numbers are found on the cover of each 150 line book, however, these
were not available. The transcriber has assigned page and line numbers (different from
the line numbers in the book) to retain enumeration order. Each person's data spans
three pages which is represented by a single page number. Please see the 1925 legend
for field descriptions.
Census sheets for Inmates of County Homes and State Institutions may appear at the
begining of the first census book for a division (township or town). The institution
is noted in the Transcriber's Remarks column. All the fields on the institution sheets
match the regular census except "Relation" and "Unemployment due to illness". Those
columns are skipped.
