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.
