Lillig Family in the 1940 Census

The 1940 US Census has just been released. This gives us a little snapshot of the country and individual households the first week of April, 1940. By this time the only child at home was Frances (Aunt Tootsie).

The ages are:
Kless 71
Elizabeth 64
Frances 24

Kless is retired. Toots is working as a clerk at the county physicians office.

The house at 1211 Lowell in Kansas City, Kansas was owned and valued at $2500.

Kless is shown as having completed the 7th grade, Lizzie completed the 4th grade, and Toots finished high school.

From Zillow I found the house was built in 1891, has 1192 square feet, 3 bedrooms, and 2 baths.

Here is the house as it appears today. Click on the navigation tool in the upper left hand corner to view to the left and right and even across the street.
