"M" was the "LDS" indexer's failed guess. The actual name is
difficult
to read. My best guess is Meneely.

Found the following household on the LDS website in the 1880 Federal Census,
Clinton Co, IN. Family last name listed only as "M". Perhaps the other info
will enable you to discover a link to your kin.
I happened upon this by checking neighboring households of my family. To
access this info for yourself you could find it the way I did.
Search criteria: George Lee - US - Indiana
He is listed in the 1880 Census results as #51: George B Lee <1868> IN
Choose that record (family of William F Lee) then click "household".
Click "next household" 5 times and you will be there - family of John C M.
Guess the census taker couldn't even make a guess as to spelling their last
name!
Hope this helps someone! Patty Gill
