Riley county, Kansas, 1905 State Census

Description (from source site)
Riley County, Kansas is located on the western edge of northeastern Kansas, about 100 miles west of Kansas City. Riley was organized in 1855 in Kansas Territory and grew to 13,738 people by 1915. This database was taken from microfilm copies of original census sheets housed in the Kansas State Historical Society Library in Topeka. It consists of 14 fields:

KSHS microfilm roll number, city/township, section, page within section, dwelling, household, surname, given name, age, gender, race, birthplace, previous residence (before Kansas), and occupation. Information from these state censuses, taken at ten-year intervals midway between the federal census counts, can be valuable for those seeking detailed information on a family who resided in early Kansas. In addition to this extracted information, the microfilm records also contain a wide range of personal information, such as military service, literacy, deafness, dumbness, insanity, idiocy, pauperism, and conviction. Extensive agricultural data is also shown for farm residents.
