The image at Ancestry.com (at least as of 29 Apr 2007) is so pale it's unreadable; the image at Genealogy.com is just barely readable. There are several other SWISHERs nearby.

The dates for individuals on the page vary, ranging from 1856 thru 1858. I don't know why Horatio appears twice, why the census date is 1859, or what the numbers mean.
