Poor copy on this sheet, jb, but this is my best guess.

Linda, you did an excellent job reading this image. I don't know what the son's name is born May 1890. It must have been a very hot afternoon in June 1900 when the census taker wrote these down. The writing is not the best to start out with. My copy is also very light on the right hand side so can't read many of the columns.
