Below is my transcription of the 1870 Great Nemaha Agency Census which was a legible document, the handwriting not too difficult to read.

(2nd column, note that the number of female children and total number in household is not on the copy I received from the library. This info would have been on the extreme right of the paper and perhaps this wouldn't fit onto the sheet and thus wasn't copied? I also asked for the Sac and Fox census sheet and it is the same way for it, the information on the extreme right not showing.)
