Youngest child, Frederick, was born in Schenectedy, NY. All other family members were born in Gemany. Frederick is a natual born American Citizen, all other family members are Aliens. Martin Sr's and Martin Jr's occupation is "Laborer". The family has resided in this city/town for 4 years.
The Bower family may be living with the family of John and Mary Friday who are both German born and have lived in the City/Town for 5 years. They have two children that were born in Schenectady. John and Mary have the same address as Martin and Mary's family. John and Mary live in a "Framed" house with a value of $300. Martin and Mary, on this census, don't claim a type of construction for their home, or a value. This gives reason to consider that Martin and Mary are living in the home of the Friday family.
