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”.</SPAN></FONT></P>
