item at the bottom of the page.
Annie Brunner just happened to be the person enumerated on line 14. She had a few extra questions to answer:
Her name, and where her parents were born (in Russia, columns 35, 36, and 37).
Her "Mother Tongue"/Native language is German (column 38).
She is not a veteran (column 40).
She does not have a Federal Social Security number (column 42).
She does not work out of the home (columns 45, 46, and 47).
She has not been married more than once (column 48).
She was 18 when she married (column 49).
She has had 4 children (column 50).
Brunner Family - Carl Brunner - page 7
What is different from the 1930 census is the column that is for "Residence, April 1 1935". The government wanted to know where the enumerated population was 5 years earlier. The possibility is that large numbers of people moved throughout the country during the Great Depression of the 1930's. The Government wanted to get a better idea as to just how many were "mobile" during that decade.
Carl was the one who was interviewed by the enumerator designated by the circled X.
The enumerator spelled Reinhold's name Reynald, probably due to Carl's pronunciation. Reynald has no profession (NP).
Annie and Emma do housework.
Ester is 17 years old and in her 2nd year of High School.
Edward is also a student.
The other item to note is that Leo Brunner now has his own farm "next" to his father's. Carl is still renting the land he is farming.
Leo is now 29 years old and married.
He finished 8 years of school which was not uncommon in those years.
He is a farmer, of his own account for 52 weeks in the year.
He did receive income of $50.00 or more from sources other than money, wages or salary.
His farm is #38 on the Farm Schedule.
His wife is Rose who is 26 years old. Rose supplied the information to the enumerator for this household.
She attended school for 6 years.
She is English Canadian.
She is an American citizen by virtue of her husband's citizenship.
Leo and Rose's children are not yet at school:
Helmute, aged 7
Louella, aged 5
Darline, aged 3
Arnetta, aged 1
All of the children were born in South Dakota.
Brunner Family - Carl Brunner - page 6
The Dwelling number is 21.
The family was the 21st to be enumerated. Carl is renting the land he is farming. He is 44 years old and has been married 20 years.
The number/letter 13,19, V, are codes for the census office.
It repeats that he came to the Unied States in 1905 [versus 1906 in the 1920 census] and is naturalized.
He farms a "General Farm". the UUUU is another code for the census office to insert.
He is the employer on the farm.
He is not a veteran of the United States.
His farm is #17 on the Farm Schedule.
It looks like she gave the information to the census taker, designated by the "H".
She has never attended school, and on this census it states that she is unable to read or write. The census then repeats where she and her parents were born.
[Where is Annie the daughter? Did she die in the past 10 years or did she get married and move away?]
Carl Jr. is listed first among the children He is 21 years old and single.
He is not attending school, but can read and write.
It repeats the information about where he and his parents were born.
Because the language line is empty he speaks and reads English.
He is a laborer, possibly working on the farm.
Leo, who is 19 and his sister Bertha, aged 15 years, do not go to school. They can both read and write English.
Leo might be working on the farm, and Bertha might be helping her mother at home.
Emma aged 12, and Reinhold aged 10 are both attending school and can read and write.
Ester is 7 years old and Edward is 4 years old. Edward is the exception - it says he was born in Illinois. I wonder if he is Annie's (the daughter) child?
What I find interesting is that in the columns where the mother and father were born, Grimm is crossed out, and Russia is not. That is also noted on Carl's census entry. There is a town named Grimm in Russia. Please see refer to future posts.
Brunner Family - Carl Brunner - page 5
The father is Alex who is 40 years old and his wife Mollie who is 42 years old. They have 7 children: Mollie, Lydia, Alex, Carl, Frieda, Helmut, and Robert.
Alex and his family immigrated in 1911. Notice that their dauther, Frieda, and her brothers Helmut and Robert were born in the United states.
That Brunner family is followed by Elizabeth Shafer with her two sons Peter and Carl. They immigrated to the United States in 1907.
The Alex Brunner family, and Elizabeth Shafer and her sons are "aliens" they are not naturalized.
I also noticed that these two families have "Sartov" written in then scratched out.
I believe that Alex is a relative - perhaps a brother - to Carl Brunner.
I also believe that Elizabeth Shafer could be both Alex and Carl's mother.
Brunner Family - Carl Brunner - page 4
In 1920 the family is living in LaGrange, Weld, Colorado.
The house number is a "Farm". The Dwelling number is 57. The Brunners are the 60th family visited by the census enumerator.
Carl is renting the land, signified by the "R".
This census startes that Carl and Annie immigrated in 1906, that they are both naturalized (Annie is naturalized because Carl is, in 1914).
Both Carl and Annie can read and write, as can their daughter Annie, and Carl their son. Both parents were born in Russia and they speak German.
[I am wondering if Caradow was meant as Crakow/Krakow.]
All four, Carl and Annie (parents) and Annie and Carl (children) speak English.
The notation of "General Farm" is the industry Carl works in. "OA" means he is working on his own account.
41 is the enumeration of Carl's farm on the "Farm Schedule".
On this census Annie the daughter is said to have been born in Ohio as apposed to the 1910 census which said she was born in Colorado.
Carl the son is 10 years old.
On the 2nd page there are more children:
Leo is 8 years old. He attends school and was born in Colorado. It states his parents were born in Russia. [Sartov - which is crossed out - is a city in western Russia. Sartov is a major port on the Volga River north of Volograd.]
Lydia is a daughter who is 6 years old and goes to school.
Another daughter is Bertha who is nearly 5 years old. She is not old enough to go to school.
The youngest sister/daughter in 1920 is Emma who is 1 1/2 years old.

This is the first document that I have found for Carl Brunner. I believe he came from Griemm (Grimm), Russia:
This is the 1910 United state Federal Census in Weld County, Colorado. It shows:
