[or-roots] 1990 tacoma warm body

[Sandra Carter]

I am transcribing the April 1, 1889 Pierce County census. I found Lewellen,
W. W. 47 male white contractor b. Penn.
                E. E. 34 female white b. Md.
                G.     17 male white b. Iowa
                B.      4 female white b. Oregon
What else?
Sandi
