This enumerator used no visitation numbers, so you don't know where one household ends and the next begins. There's another "Sch. Teacher" on Line 27, followed by 21 "Students," all of college age. He gave health status for everyone.

Booker's birthyear and age have been crossed out and written over several times. You really want to throttle archivists who allow original records to be vandalized this way. Households of school administrators and teachers follow.
