My great-great grandparents and their family are on lines 75-83. John LOVEN is cited as a 47 year old man, who's been married for 24 years. He was a farmer, who owned his own farm, was able to read and write, and was born in Norway. His wife Berte "Mary" is cited as a 45 year old woman, who was the mother of 8 (all living). She was able to read and write and was also born in Norway. John and Mary still had 5 children living at home at the time the census was taken, who had all attended school since 1 Sept 1909 and were all born in Iowa. The children on the page are: Carl, a 17 year old boy; Julius, a 14 year old boy; Anga, a 12 year old girl; Violet (Hannah), an 11 year old girl; and Roy, a 6 year old boy. A laborer named Henry FOSTINE (sp?) was also cited as living with the family. Henry was a 34 year old, single man, who was working as a laborer doing odd jobs. Henry was also born in Norway and able to read and write.

I like that you post an entire census page and list all names on that page. Someone might just find family they've been searching for here!
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly why I list the other families on the page, even though I don't go into the detail I do with my own family. I was posting the entire page anyway, so why not list the names for others.
