[Transcriber's note: A dash at the start of a name stands for "same surname as above." "M1" = married once. "W" in column 20 = wage earner. "Al" = alien; "Na" = naturalized. "Hun. German" is the enumerator's entry for country of birth and mother tongue (Hungary, German). The house numbers and dwelling numbers on lines 33 and 36 are written over earlier numbers and are uncertain. On line 37, a word written before "Elizabeth" is struck through and not legible. Check marks in the right margin beside lines 33 and 36 are the enumerator's or a reviewer's tally.]
