Vesta is directly across the county line from Echo. While Echo is in Yellow
Medicine, Vesta is in Redwood County. I've got the 1880 census pulled up and
I'm currently trying to figure out which ED Vesta twp belongs in (because,
of course, it isn't listed in the ancestry.com description...aarrrgg!!) I'll
let you know if I get lucky.

Susan

> In the U.S., a census has been taken every 10 years from 1790 through
1990. All censuses taken after 1920 are still confidential and the
information they contain is not open to the public. The census from 1790
through 1840 only named the head of the household and the numbers of people
in categories - 3 males over 16, 2 males under 16, etc. The census from 1850
through 1920 lists each member of the household and usually gives the
relationship to the head of the house. It also gives age (later years give
birth month and year) and place of birth (usually just the state or foreign
country). The 1890 census was almost totally destroyed by fire so there is a
20 year gap between 1880 and 1900.
