Census Sunday #9 1920 US Census

This week the image I'm doing is from the 1920 US Census. This is page 1A for Glenwood township, Winneshiek county, Iowa. (full image)


The families I'm descended from in this image is on lines 17-19 & lines 29-30.

Henry R LOVEN is shown as a 29 year old married man who was born in Iowa to parents who were both born in Norway. He was a farmer who owned his own farm & was able to read, write, & speak English. His wife, Clarissa (Clarisse on this census) is shown as being a 26 year old woman who was born in Iowa. She also was able to read, write, & speak English. Their son Lloyd is cited as being 1 year 5 months old (17 months) and born in Iowa.

Ole A LOVEN is shown as being a 51 year old married man who was born in Norway & immigrated in 1869. It also shows that he's a naturalized citizen who became a citizen in 1880. He's also shown as being a farmer who owns his own farm & is able to read, write, & speak English. His wife Ingeborg is shown as being a 51 year old woman who was also born in Norway. She immigrated in 1873(187?) & became a citizen in 1880. (I'm guessing her dad became a citizen in 1880, because she didn't marry Ole until 1910.) She was also able to read, write, & speak English.
