Todd, age 39, born Sep 1860, married to Caledonia Todd, age 33, born Jul 1866. They have been married for seven years. Caledonia has given birth to nine children, all of whom are alive: son Campbell Todd, 16, born Nov 1883; daughter Della Todd, 14, born Oct 1885; son Franklin Todd, 12, born Jun 1887; son Robert Todd, 10, born Nov 1889; son Bernard Todd, 8, born May 1892; daughter Mary Todd, 6, born Aug 1893; daughter Elizabeth A. Todd, age 5, born Oct 1894, son John M. Todd, 2, born Nov 1897; and son Charles Todd, age 11 months, born Jun 1899. Also present in the home are "S. Son" Irwin Herron, 13, born May 1887; "S. Daughter" Pearl Herron, 7, born Feb 1893; and boarder Lawrence Elliott, 17, born Dec 1882. Everyone and their parents were born in NC. George is a farmer. Caledonia and Campbell work as farm laborers. The next five oldest children plus both Herron children and the boarder were in school. George, Caledonia, their three oldest children, both the Herron children, and the boarder can read, write, and speak English.
Note: Both parents appear to have children by previous marriages. The line indicating 9 children for Lillian is very dim and could read 4. Campbell, Della, Franklin, Robert, Bernard, Mary and Elizabeth are probably children of George Todd and an earlier wife. Irwin and Pearl are children of Caledonia and her first husband, William Herron. Those born after 1894 are children of both.
