Where did the enumerator get the names of the first two children?  I'm wondering if the enumerator got his list out of line when he was transfering his field notes to the Population Schedules?  In other words, that the children who were 12 and 11 should have been James and Florence, while John and Better should have been two children between them and Jack?  Sharing domicile with Allen's brother, Stanley Q. TROUPE, and Charles E. BUSH.
