ED24 notes:
District 24 of Lewis Co. MO was very hard to read due to tape and ink spilled on pages.

Written on the last page of District 24 by J. Hooper. I copied as it was written, 
misspelled words and all.

"I hearby certify that I have this day completed the Enumution of the district assigned to me
and that the return have been duty and truthfully made in accordance with Law and my oath of
Office.
J. Hooper  June 17th 1880

In many instances it was impossible to get information accusary to fill columns 25 and 26 for
instance to go to a house and no one home and get the information from the neighbor and they
could not give the neccisary infirmation and the colored folks nine times out of ten could not
tell where their parents were born.
J. H."

ED32 notes:

Entered for daughter is "D".

The Village of LaBelle starts at page 141B to page 144D. Lewistown starts on page 155B to page
156D. Page 143C ends with dwelling and family 109/110 ... Page 144D starts with 100/101 and
goes to 106/107 then to 273/276.

Some times entered are brackets ( ). I can only guess why this was done. It may be so that the
birth places wouldn't have to be written again. On page 154C, dweling and family numbers are
out of order. Either they are skipped or are written in twice. On page 155A line 31 dwelling 4
family 4, Zinn Clyde was entered .. line 32 is dwelling 59 family 59 Avis George was entered.
