It contained columns for name, color, sex, age, marriage status, occupation, health, education and nativity. There were also columns for the month of birth for children under 12 months and month of marriage for those married under 12 months. In addition it had columns for addresses "In Cities", which were seldom used. Header for 1880 (Image).
