1907 Fryeburg Maine Census

The population of the towns of Fryeburg, Lovell, Sweden Stow and Chatham has been arranged in families, where that arrangement has been possible. In these families, in addition to the resident living members, the names of the nonresident members are included. It should be borne in mind that this plan does not include the names of all former residents of this town, as the names of the non-residents appear only when one or both of the parents are still living in the town. After the name of each non-resident will be found the present address, when such address has been. given tone. Non-residents are indicated by the (*).

When a daughter in a family has married, her name taken in marriage appears after her given name in parenthesis, the name preceded by a small m, thus: (m).

To designate these we have used the more common abbreviations and contractions, as follows: Farmer-far; carpenter-car; railroad service-R R ser; student, a member of an advanced institution of learning-stu; pupil, a member of a lower grade of schools (including all who have reached the age of five years)-pl; housework-ho; laborer-lab; physician and surgeon-phy & sur; clergyman-clerg; merchant-mer; teacher-tr; blacksmith-blk; clerk-cl; bookkeeper-bk kpr; lawyer-law; mechanic mech; machinist-mach; engineer-eng; maker-mkr; worker-wkr; work-wk; shoe shop operative- ssop; cotton or woolen mill operatives -mill op; weaver-weav; spinner-spin; electrician-elec; painter-ptr; carriage work-car wk; dress maker-dr mkr-; insurance-ins; traveling salesman, or commercial traveler-sales, or coml trav; music teacher-mus tr; teamster-team; general work-genlwk; mariner-mar; employ-emp; retired -recd; telephone operative-tel op; telegraph operative–op.
