NC/NC/NC; cotton mill inspector) living in a boarding house in Lenoir Twp., Caldwell Co., NC (p. 72A); it's not unusual for data to be in error for boarders because the informant is usually the landlord, so this may be our subject. Walter PRESTWOOD (æ 24, b. SC/NC/SC) is living in Lovelady Twp., Caldwell Co., NC (p. 140A), with his wife, Eva (æ 27, b. NC/NC/NC), plus one son and two in-laws.
