This is a transcription of the 1895 Kansas State Census for Sumner County only. The handwriting of part of this census was difficult to determine. Please check all possible alternate spellings of your surnames.
Conway Springs, in particular, was very difficult to read. The census taker apparently spelled some of the names phonetically, either because the person could not spell their own name or the census taker couldn’t. Also the census taker wrote in a particularly spread out and undefined way. So…. try sounding out the names before deciding this “couldn’t be” your ancestor.
The Kansas 1895 census records every household member by name, along with their age, sex, race or color, and place of birth (state or country). It also notes the state or country from which each person came to Kansas, as well as any military service, including discharge status, state of enlistment, company or command name or letter, regiment number or other unit, branch of service, and the name of any military prison where they may have been confined.
