    No house number on census. Street indicated by enumerator is Judd Falls Rd (JFR). In 1940 and 1941, Clesson Turner is listed at the bottom of JFR at the intersection with Forest Home Drive (FHD). Clesson Turner might have been renting at the house that became 134-36 JFR or possibly at 132 JFR. Clesson Turner was listed in Cornell Directory of the University for 1940-41 as "Turner, C. N., 2610, Extension Asst.

He and his wife Elizabeth Peters Bizzell acquired that house on 6/3/1926 [BF050912-001 DEED in Tompkins County Clerks Office Online Service]. Elizabeth Peters Bizzell passed it on to their son in April 1967 [BF096745-001 DEED].} Since there has been no confirmation of a specific address for Clesson Turner or his wife, a synthetic address of X1 has been given. By 1942, they were living at 228 Ridgedale Rd.
