Lenard LOVELESS resides with Nathan LOVELESS, relationship unknown. He is 36 years old and is farming. He was born in Canada as were his parents. He apparently went to Dakota to establish the family homestead as his wife Viola Almaretta [DICKERSON] LOVELESS resides next door to her father in Lapeer Co., MI. Interestingly, Lenard's census record has an entry for his wife Rettie (Almaretta is sometimes abbreviated "Retta" in other records) but it has been crossed-out by the census taker, likely because she was not yet residing with him.
