East New Market

Census Records

1920 Census

Dorchester County, East New Market Town
Enumerator Harold L. Hastings
January 12-14, 1920

1920 Census rules state the enumeration should be made as of January 1, 1920.  Actual enumeration began the next day.  The enumerators were instructed to enumerate persons at their "usual place of abode".  Persons temporarily absent from their usual places of abode (travelling, in school, hospital) were enumerated at places where they habitually resided.  Persons having no fixed place of abode were required to be enumerated where they slept on the night of January 1, 1920. 

The transcription for East New Market town is complete below.  The handwriting and quality of the enumerator's work was less than average.  Deciphering some of the names and occupations was challenging.
