If you need more immediate access to see who else lived in the Town of Huron for this census year, a search of their own transcription can be ordered from the Office of the County Historian in Lyons, or census film can be rented from a Mormon Family History Center.

Censustaker Wm. J. Glen's penmanship was neater and more legible than most, but open to interpretation. Several first names and surnames were difficult to make out. If someone's name is totally off-base or misinterpreted, or a number was read wrong, please contact the site coordinators with the correction. It's advisable to take all online census transcriptions as a starting point and view the original census microfilm yourself.
