age 40, in the 1920 US Census--

Race: White Page: 3A , line 17

His birthplace is given as Nebraska, (it should be Kansas as given in 1900 Census), his parents birthplaces are given as Unknown, (many inmates list parents place of birth as Unknown). George is single. Don't know whether this is George, son of Harrison J. and wife Susan Bemis but age is correct for George in 1920 Census.
