[or-roots] 1895 Oregon county census

[t williams]

Thanks, Pat, for the heads up on the Marion County 1895 census data. I found some relatives there who originally lived in Linn Co. 

About ten years ago I photocopied some of the 1895 Linn County census pages. I attach a copy of two pages to show the information they contained. Unless there is another 1895 Linn County census I did not find when I went, it unfortunately does not have the personal data the Marion County 1895 census has. I'm wondering if each county decided what information they wanted. Does anyone have a copy of pages from the 1895 Multnomah County or Morrow County censuses?

Here is her photo, probably about the same time.  Fits the description. But who would have known about the height.
