For Marie Cook and perhaps a couple of others. Ref: ftp://ftp.us-census.org/pub/usgenweb/census/ks/lyon/1895/ward2-pg031.txt Following are several entries from the 1895 Lyon Co., KS census. Please pardon the inevitable line wrap mess--it can be reconstituted. The Riddles listed correspond to the William Baird & Elizabeth Ellen (Brown) Riddle family we've discussed previously (William, Lizzie, Harry, Laura, Agnes). It is interesting to note the adjacent Brown family entries. Only first initials are given, but I have noted that Lizzie Brown's parents were Edgar and Laura Brown corresponding nicely with the husband and wife in the Brown family. Ages are OK too. A later census might give the full names.
