1910 census of Davidson Co., Tennessee, Nashville ward 2, enumerated 18 April, lists on p. 5A as family #86/98, at 1821 N. 14th Ave:
Smith, John M., 22, b. Tenn Switz Switz, candy maker at candy factory; Clara L., wife, 21, b.

All Felts born Tenn Tenn Tenn.
It’s an odd reporting of the relationships. Since Joseph Felts is employed and is the father of most of the household members, with John Smith being a young newlywed, the usual way of recording this family would be to report him as the head, with John being his son-in-law, or perhaps break it into two family heads sharing a dwelling each with their own number.
