Title: occupation for a 9 year old in Arkansas, 1930? (COMPLETED - thanks!)
Post by: anitah1972 on Thursday 29 December 11 17:34 GMT (UK)

Corlet Rodgers ('Roddy') Madison was born in 1920, and in 1930 appears in the census with this listed in the 'occupation' column. 

I see "F....  ....er, Printer & ....."  but I've been staring at it too long, I think.

Any ideas?

Great eyes... and I agree!  Makes sense that a 9 year old could do that.

Thanks so much for the quick reply!

I'd agree with Rosie - Film Winder.
