The marital status section has a long dashed line through it, partly under and partly through the widowed line. I do not know whether it was intended to signify widowed, never married, or unknown.
The reported age and birth date are probably off by a year. (He was recorded as age 4 in the 1870 census, age 13 in 1880, and age 33 b. Dec 1866 in 1900.)
The informant is Charles’ nephew William Albert Pettit, son of Samuel Pettit and Ida York.
