Marilyn--
These columns are titled "Ownership of Home." Col. 25 is "Owned or
rented";
Col. 26 is "Owned free or mortgaged"; Col. 27 is "Farm or house"; and
Col.
28 is "Number of farm schedule." So it looks like your ancestor owned his
property free of mortgage, and it was a farm. Don't know what Farm Schedule
88 might be.

Subject: [INJEFFER] 1900 Census Column Heading
Hi Listers,
I'm searching the Jefferson Co. 1900 Census at
ancestry.com and still having
trouble de-ciphering printing in last 4 columns (#'s 25, 26, 27, 28) under
the heading OWNERSHIP. My printer didn't print clearly.
It looks like column 25 says "Rented or Owned"? My ancestor has an
"O" in
that column.
In column 26 and 27 there is either an F or a 7 with a cross-hatch.
In the last column there is a number, 88.
Can someone tell me what these 4 column headings say?
Thanks for any help.
Marilyn in Cincy
