NOTE - The index for this census entry does not list any relationship or other occupants. I'm wondering if he was not already a patient at the "Chicago Home for Incurables". Although he was listed as "married" there is no mention of his wife. His death certificate issued 2 years later indicated that he was divorced from Agnes. Also, if his birth date was 22 Aug 1867 then his age should have been 52 instead of 50.
.

• His occupation in June 1922 was a Coal Salesman, Retired in Cook County, IL. 7

• He resided at 4501 Michigan Avenue in June 1922 in Chicago, IL.

• Death Image: 19 June 1922, in Chicago, IL. 7
