My friends - Recently, I again posted information about the 1880 Defective, Dependent and Delinquent Schedule found in the 1880 census. This schedule lists those individuals(who would also be shown on the 1880 population schedule - the one with which we most often work) who are blind, insane, deaf-mute, inhabitants of a county poor house, homeless children, idiots and in jail. Starting today, I am going to post to the List, as we go forward, the names of those individuals shown in the 1880 DDD Schedules for the 7 counties(at that time) of the JP region, showing the classification under which they appeared. We will begin with Calloway County. *At this point, I cannot provide further information beyond what is shown below*. I have, in some cases, shown some added information that was present in the schedule for certain individuals. My plan is to transcribe the entire contents of the DDD Schedule for the 7 JP counties, with all of the associated information contained on these individuals. This series of postings is to serve as something of a "notification" of the presence of these individuals on the DDD Schedule. That may be helpful to some of us, especially if we have a bit of a brick wall problem concerning what may have happened to an individual. Unfortunately, as we often see in these cases, the enumerators involved in gathering this information in Calloway County left many informational columns blank, either because they could not get the information or because the enumerator felt doing so was not worth the effort to do so. One cannot help but have a tug at the heartstrings - even now - when seeing the report of the two homeless children shown below, and then also see their names in the county poor house. That must have been a really terrible existence for those two youngsters. It was a difficult existence even for adults in the poor houses of that era. Tomorrow, we will have another selection from Dr. Gordon Wilson. -B +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ New Series - 1880 DDD Schedule - Part 1 - Calloway County BLIND: Manning, Sarah J.
