This is the 1900 census record that reflects the Bonjours living in Rush Township. It shows Thomas and Fanny living with some of their children. It states their birth months and years and says they have been married 29 years. It says Thomas was born 1844, though I thought it was 42. All other birth months and dates agree with my other sources. Living with them are their sons James, Paul and John. It also says Thomas was born in France as were his mother and father, though we know it was Switzerland, and his year of immigartion was 1852. It states that Thomas can read, write and speak English and that they live on a mortgaged farm.
