NOTE - I don't know if this were a case of sloppy data entry by the census enumerator or not but notice that the last two children (Samuel and Ira) don't have a name even though one of them is already 4 years old. Also notice the name of the last person on the list. I highly suspect that this was Hiram's younger brother, either Charles or Ephraim, but the enumerator somehow entered the surname of "Walters" right after the solid line which indicated the same surname as the line above. That worked out to read as "Walters Walters" which I doubt is correct.
