This information has been transcribed from a printout from the LDS Family History Library. Notice that Matilda’s parents were living on a neighboring farm. The LDS Family History Library program that I used to do the search with is nice because you can also browse neighbors to see if you can find other family, or recognizable names.
Some problems with this census is that it does not match with the information found in the family bible of Anthony and Matilda. One example is on the census it shows the daughter of Sarah J. Henderson was their daughter, yet her birth or death is not mentioned in their family bible. The spelling of some names appears to be incorrect as well. The most glaring error is that of Harvey C. Henderson, who the census has called Harry. I would tend to believe the family bible over the census. Still, the matter of Sarah Henderson is interesting.
