1895 Iowa Population Census
The 1895 Iowa Population Census is of great value to genealogy researchers due to the lack of an 1890 Federal Census, which was destroyed by fire. The 1895 Iowa Census represented the status of households as of Jan. 1, 1895. In addition, the census enumerator was instructed as follows:

"If any member of the family has died since January 1, 1895, the same should be entered and described as if living. Persons born in the year 1894 and having died before January 1, 1895, should be included and their names enclosed thus ( ), with "B. D." added. Persons who have died in 1894, and having been born previous to January 1, 1894, should be included and their names enclosed thus ( ), with "D" added, and the same entries made in other columns as if living. No child born since January 1, 1895, should be enumerated."
