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.
