The Best Census Enumerator Ever

We genealogists spend a lot of time grumbling about census enumerators with illegible handwriting or those who were just plain careless.  But I stumbled across a wonderful enumerator today, surnamed Eddibert - he added the census page and line number of the head of household for people who were not living with their families.  Here's an example:

Source:  Otto W. Sisker household, 1920 US census, Hillsboro, Risley Township, Marion County, Kansas, SD 4, ED 74, pages 5A-5B, lines 47-54.  Accessed on familysearch.org on 20 October 2017.

Here Lena Siebel on the bottom line is not living with her family.  The enumerator added a note that she is a daughter to the person on line 77, page 4B.

That page is a couple pages back in the census, so let's take a look at it:

Source:  George Seibel household, 1920 US census, Hillsboro, Risley Township, Marion County, Kansas, SD 4, ED 74, page 4B, lines 77-80.  Accessed on familysearch.org on 20 October 2017.

And here on line 77, we see George Seibel, who is head of the household and Lena's father.  What a find if you are trying to untangle family relationships!  And you'll notice that the third person in this household is Grace Schmidt, whom he notes is the wife of the person on line 21, page 2A.  So he did it more than once.

I'm sure this was not standard practice, but it is valuable information today.
