This weeks theme is "In the Census"
Charles F Butler (1869-1950)
Charles was the son of Simon Peter Butler and Eliza Boyd. He lived in Ohio his whole life. I have found him in several census', never married or even had a job. I found this curious. Sure, lots of people never get married, but not as many never have a job. Then I looked more carefully at the 1920 census and right next to the occupation column, where the industry is listed, he is listed as 'imbicile'. Well, I guess that explains it. I may have to do a little more research on him, but it answers my main question.
What interesting things have you found in the census?
