For some reason, the names of his son Friedrich's wife and children are missing from the 1897 census. This appears to be a census taker error. Grimm Village Coordinator John Groh from the American Historical Society of Germans from Russia contacted the translator about the omission. He asked if the names of the family members were in the documentation the translator used to translate the census from Russian to English. The translator confirmed that no family members were listed after Johann Friedrich Schott's name.

I am including the missing names in the census entry below so his connection to his daughter-in-law and grandchildren can be seen.
