NOTE - Living adjacent to James and Mary Houser were other Houser families including Arthur C. Howser and family, James Morrison Howser and family, along with Charles Metcalf and family whose mother's maiden name was Houser. All three of the Howser families were listed consecutively on the census which might indicate they were immediate neighbors but I don't know how far apart they actually lived. It took the enumerator 5 days to visit just 10 households on this particular page.
