94, Orris Braffet - This census is interesting. Was Orris possibly in CO doing carpentry work sometime during 1880? Note that the birthplace for his parents in the CO census is correct, but the age is not quite right. Maybe when the Mercer, MO census was ennumerated, he was already back from CO, or he was just listed on the MO census even though he was in CO.
