Anyone with census images, can you please assist me in reading the occupation of Alonzo Socy entry 193-188 in Hardin Twp, Hardin Co, IA on the 1870 Census. I believe it says Farmer/???? and since I can't find g-g-g-Uncle Alonzo after 1870, I am wondering if the second part of the occupation entry can give me a clue as to where he might have gone. His actual name is Alonzo Locy, Locey, or Losey and he was between 55 and 58 yrs of age in 1870. The 1880 Census lists only his wife HULDAH Locy and the children and she is not listed as a widow or as head of household, so he may have abandoned the family or died prior to 1880. She subsequently wound up in an asylum and I am still trying to locate where her children were located in 1880. Thank you for your assistance. I have the census image, but just need help deciphering the occupation portion for Alonzo. Judy Neu Springwater, NY
