And I bet she did in some cases. But Ruth also did something I've never
seen on a census report before. At more than one house, she would
write in the margin to the left of the data. What did she write there?
She wrote in who she got the data from, if it wasn't from the folks
who actually lived in the residence! At one house, she wrote
that she got the information from a Mrs. 'put the name of a neighbor'
in here, and a nurse. Go figure! LOL.
