[or-roots] need help reading census

[Harguess, Dale]

The film is a little hard to read but I think I got most of it.  Just
couldn't make out what Horace did for a living.

James R. Crocker age 64 married 28 years bp Vermont father bp
Connecticut mother bp Canada English speaking occupation first word I
couldn't read agent some sort of plant that he worked in couldn't make
out the first word

Agnes T. wife age 42 4 children born 3 living bp Massachusetts same for
parents

Sidney son age 25 Mechanical Engineer works in manufacturing

Horace son age 18 couldn't make out occupation but nothing in where he
was working so I think he wasn't

De Burs, Franklin son in law age 28 chemical Engineer some sort of
manufacturing looks like evaporation

Florence C. daughter age 28 nurse

That was all I could make out.

Dale

James R. Crocker.  It is the Federal Census.  They are in Chicago.

I could look at the Heritage Quest scan to see if it is any better.
What is the head of household's name and what county?  I am assuming it
is an Oregon Census you are referring to.

Hi everyone,

I am trying to decipher what my husband's great grandfather did in 1910.
Would some of you try to decipher the information.  I would like to know
the place of birth of James Crocker's Mother, and the "general nature of
industry", the occupation of Horace (I think he had just graduated from
High School), and the place of birth of Franklin's Father (it was
somewhere in Germany).

 

Thanks!  James and Franklin's Father are two of my brick walls.
