NOTE: Left pages have handwritten number in upper left corner, crossing stamped page numer. This page transcribed from hand-numbered page #5 (was stamped 89) and stamped page #98 (which seems to match page #5). Center columns (especially #21-22) very difficult/impossible to read due to census pages being tightly bound together into a volume.
