(Living or just visiting with her uncle Aaron Lightfoot and his family.)

NOTE - Lucy was already enumerated 2 days earlier as living with her parents. This is probably a circumstance where she came to visit and stay with her cousins for a few days, or for whatever reason, and under the strict interpretation of the enumerator, was listed with her uncle's family on the 13th of June even though the census requirements specified the data should be current for the 1st of June only. The result is that Lucy was enumerated twice, once with her parents and a second time while visiting her cousins at her uncle Aaron's house.
