Census Notes for Jesse T. & Lucille (Family)
1940 census of Elkhart Co., Indiana, Osolo township, ED 20-55, enumerated 6 May, lists on p. 25A as family #539:
Pettit, Jess, 34; Lucille, wife, 23. Both born in Kentucky, living in same place but not same house in 1935. The occupation column is blank for nearly the entire page (only two people show an occupation), so it probably indicates that the census taker did not ask most people.
