1870 Mason County Census
Pages 458 - 459
Prepared for the internet by Wanda Qualls

Note:  The name "Chale"  shows up in numerous places.  I believe this is "Charlie"   The census taker usually wrote what he heard.
My Father's name was Charles and was called Charlie by the family.   My grandparents were German and I remember how it
sounded when they said his nickname.   I was a Smith by birth but my grandparents, aunt and uncles always said Schmidt.  It is
listed that way on my grandmothers obituary.  Wanda Qualls
