1940 Census for my family in Chicago

I found the census form online, it was done on 4/19/1940. With some back and forth I used a blank form found online and entered the date as it appears on the original form. That original was a bit hard to read but below is the information contained on the hard to read form. I see that my grandmother provided the info and that their house at 7234 S. Lafayette Ave was worth $3,250 and my grandfather made $2,100 yearly, working 48 hours per week as the Superintendent of the Stockyard Post Office in Chicago.

The 2nd section of the form was not required and is reproduced here just FYI.

My mother was 18 at the time and still in high school, subsequently she joined the Marine Corp and married my father, Charles Ernest Harris, in the Camp LeJune Protestant Chapel on base, this of course is NOT on the form, just an addendum, also my great grandmother died about 1948 or 49, passing away at the house on Lafayette Ave.


Although the right side of the form is overlaid by gadgets all you need to do
