If several members of a family have the same last name, the last name will be listed in the first record only and in following records it might be replaced by a line or a blank space. If the name is hard to read, attempt to verify the spelling with the city directory where possible. Note: If you see a last name that looks crossed out because it was written over that line, enter it as the last name. Sometimes the enumerator drew the lines first for the last name of all the people in the household, and then had to write a new last name over the line to indicate a person had a different last name. These were written over the line, not crossed out.

Additional
  • Notes
    No house number given on census. The 1949 directory did not show house numbers for the Byway. Census line for Leon Tyler follows Underhill family known to have been at 9 The Byway in the 1956 ICD, the first directory with reliable numbers for the Town of Ithaca. Tyler was listed in 1949 Ithaca city directory on The Byway with phone 5377. This phone number is the same as for Willard Waters in the 1956 ICD, listed as at 11 The Byway. 9 The Byway and 11 The Byway are attached buildings, which have sometimes been occupied as separate residences and sometimes as a single-family residence. The Tylers moved to what became 104 Crest Lane by the intersection with Warren Road according to https://www.fhia.org/free-hollow-to-forest-home-appendix/ In January 1951, Leon's wife Gertrude "Trudy" hosted the Forest Home Embroidery Club, giving the address as Warren Road. They are listed at 104 Crest Lane in the 1954 Ithaca street directory. Age on census may be 45 or 47, but 47 seems more accurate. His dates were September 28, 1902 — May 27, 1988. See Cornell's memorial statement for him at https://ecommons.cornell.edu/bitstream/handle/1813/19178/Tyler_Leon_John_1988.pdf
