Subject: New Series - 1880 DDD Schedule - Part 1 - Calloway County
Date: Wed, 05 May 2004 16:39:23 -0500

My friends -

Recently, I again posted information about the 1880 Defective, Dependent
and Delinquent Schedule found in the 1880 census. This schedule lists those
individuals(who would also be shown on the 1880 population schedule - the
one with which we most often work) who are blind, insane, deaf-mute,
inhabitants of a county poor house, homeless children, idiots and in jail.

Starting today, I am going to post to the List, as we go forward, the names
of those individuals shown in the 1880 DDD Schedules for the 7 counties(at
that time) of the JP region, showing the classification under which they
appeared. We will begin with Calloway County.

*At this point, I cannot provide further information beyond what is shown
below*. I have, in some cases, shown some added information that was
present in the schedule for certain individuals. My plan is to transcribe
the entire contents of the DDD Schedule for the 7 JP counties, with all of
the associated information contained on these individuals. This series of
postings is to serve as something of a "notification" of the presence of
these individuals on the DDD Schedule. That may be helpful to some of us,
especially if we have a bit of a brick wall problem concerning what may
have happened to an individual. Unfortunately, as we often see in these
cases, the enumerators involved in gathering this information in Calloway
County left many informational columns blank, either because they could not
get the information or because the enumerator felt doing so was not worth
the effort to do so.

One cannot help but have a tug at the heartstrings - even now - when seeing
the report of the two homeless children shown below, and then also see
their names in the county poor house. That must have been a really terrible
existence for those two youngsters. It was a difficult existence even for
adults in the poor houses of that era.

Tomorrow, we will have another selection from Dr. Gordon Wilson.
