EXTRACTS from the U.S. FEDERAL DECENNIAL CENSUS


The spellings of the names are as found in the census schedules.

Note that some persons were enumerated twice, such as John E. Pfister (number 10), his wife, and his son, who were enumerated twice in the 1930 Census.

In the 1900 Census, Valentine (number 7) and his son Richard are enumerated as "Pister". The indexing at ancestry.com doesn't help much, as "Richard Pister" is indexed as "Rachael Piatti".
