Do you have a page reference for where I can find this word.  I have
access to the images.  Would like to look at it myself.

	I wondered about that but I didn't think it had started by 1860.
I really don't know when it started do you?

	Wild guess, but maybe it's serving in the military during the
Civil War???

		First let me say that I have an extracted book of the
Linn County 1860 census if anyone would like me to look something up for
them.  Second I have a question regarding the wording that I don't
understand.  In the column of the census where it would give occupation
or whether children were in school what does the term "serving" mean?  I
have two young men listed that way and I don't know what it means.  The
father is listed as a farmer, wife as keeping house, the young children
listed as at school, one daughter listed as works outside the home as a
servant and these two young men as "serving".

		Any ideas out there?

		Thanks

		Dale
