Just speculating . . . . Since the family members are all listed as living in the state for 0 years, perhaps he was returned to the place of former residence for burial. Could Hiram have died at census time? Perhaps his name had been written in the ledger but none of the info had been entered at the time of his death. Rather than mark out an entered name, the enumerator chose this way of dealing with an unusual circumstance. The date of death on the death certificate and possible burial information from his former residence might clear this up.
