thanks so much maddy
i had a different census for his wife
i cant find this one on ancestry
am having difficulty viewing original ..does it give his occupation ?
i had found the draft card but it doesnt say navy
le havre is a port town so navy is logical

I think it says "works at saw" in a Planer Mill. Not sure about the Mill, but almost everyone on the page works there in different jobs.

Oh, sorry about that. If it helps, he is transcribed originally as Lenon CEVIN, though this has a user correction to Lemon ERVIN.

Vaiden is a town in Carroll County. :D See the 1940 census.
