Visit 113 shows a Henry Bucher, age 24, "at home laborer", has a notation in column 18, "idiotic".
(That census column's heading is "Whether deaf and dumb, blind, insane, or idiotic.") Henry also cannot read or write. He is listed next to Chas. Bucher, 22, laborer, who has no such notations. Both of them are living in the household of John G. Snyder, 38, RR Car Inspector, and his wife Catherine, 44, with their Snyder children: Mary E., 14; and Jacob, 10. Everyone is born in Pennsylvania.
