Fresh text comparison2026-09-28: PDF sheets270–275; extracted on-screen ebook labels251–256. Physical PDF-sheet locator is canonical. Full457-sheet visual layout survey completed; contact sheets are not fine-detail proof.

Census classifications are enumerator records, not necessarily self-identification; distilling until Prohibition is explicitly uncertain.
