===========
UPDATED NOVEMBER 6, 2022
This is
a State not Federal Census, but the 1885 & 1895 are a huge help in filling
the 20 year void in Federal Censuses from 1880 to
1900. The Official 1890 was taken but the records were later accidentally
burned back in Washington archives in the early 1900s.

The conductor is said to have put Oscar off the train, before he was
