NOTE - His age appears to be 28 on the original census record but it is not entirely distinct. For some reason, his age was circled on the census form but no idea as to why. If his birth date was 15 Feb 1885, then his age should have been 55 instead of 28. It might be possible that this was some other Esta Fast but it seems logical that it would be the correct one given that his last 1930 US Census was also in Canton, Illinois.
