Mark O. Jackley Family - 1930 Madison Co., IN

Today I sourced the census data for the Mark O. Jackley family in the 1930 census of Lafayette Twp., Madison Co., IN. Mark married Cora Della King on December 29, 1901 in Madison Co., IN.

Interestingly, the 1930 census asks if the family owns a radio, and this family did. Mark's occupation was listed as a farmer. In the previous household lived his son Lester and new wife, Mildred. Mark's oldest two children were not listed - perhaps living elsewhere in the county.
