Note that the age and birth date for Albert are inconsistent with each other. A birthdate in July 1867 would imply an age of 32 in 1900. The age is consistent with his birth record, though. So maybe the digits got swapped in recording the year.

Although Frank Blanton is recorded as married, there is no spouse in the household for him. (The more standard way of recording this household would have been to list Albert Blanton as the head of household, with Matt Gamble listed as son-in-law and Ruth as granddaughter. Perhaps that was not done since Albert was unemployed and thus not paying the monthly rent of 8 dollars, which was most likely split between the three employed young men.)
