I used age 36 because this census date is in January, making 36 your William's likely age for this census. There are only 2: William C. Baxter, Westport Twp., Clatsop Co., Oregon. The immigration date is blurred, but I believe it says 1907. This fellow was naturalized in 1919. He is a lumber yarder in a sawmill and single. William Baxter, Wilkinsburg Twp, Allegheny Co., Pennsylvania. This is a very poor census copy -- I am unable to read the immigration information. He is married to a Christina and has 4 children. The two oldest children were born in Scotland (I think) and the two younger in Pennsylvania. I have saved a copy of the Oregon census page. Let me know if you think it is useful for further research. I am not particularly familiar with naturalization records; perhaps someone else can suggest a method for you to pursue this angle.
