Enumerator's Note

Several years ago, I was reading page 124 of the 1920 census of Mountain Township, McCurtain County, Oklahoma and came upon the following note:

"Here ends the enumeration of District 148 comprising ranges 25, 26, and all of 27 east, inside the Oklahoma boundary of Townships 3 and 4 South in McCurtain County, Oklahoma, and believe me, with its mountains and valleys, its rivers, creeks and branches, it's some district, all right. I have been waterbound, and now I'm hidebound, but I have listed every galoot there is in it."

Sgd. W. A. Carter, Enumerator, District 148, McCurtain County, Oklahoma
