Charles Henry and his dad swapped first and middle names sometimes. The parents'
birthplaces show that the enumerator got his data from someone besides the person.

This was the first time I'd seen someone with two wives on the LDS 1880, so I looked
Henry up on the census images. Lizie is right under Josephine and has a ditto matk under
Josephine's relation, which is "Wife".
Possible explanations -
1) Josephine had died and they forgot to put "Deceased" on her
2) Henry was a Mormon
3) Josephine was a sister-in-law and the enumerator put "Wife" by mistake. If
the "OH" for her birthplace and her parents' BP are accurate, she
couldn't be Henry's sister.
