Census Notes for Hobart & Laura Myrtle (Family)
1930 census of Richland Co., Ohio, Madison township, Mansfield ward 4, enumerated 28 April, lists on p. 23B as family #410/459, at 337 Springmill Rd:

(This is apparently a small apartment building, because there are four different households numbered 410/456 through 410/459 at the same street address, and the neighborhing address at 343 Springmill Road also covers four households.)
