Line 60 on sheet 15B shows Norman B. Wood as Head, age 40, married, born New Jersey, working as a City Representative for Auto Radio Corp, in Madison City, Dane County, Wisconsin. This matches the claimed residence, marital status, relationship and occupation, and the age fits a birth in 1889. The middle name Bentley is not spelled out, but the initial B is consistent.
Matches: Image is the 1930 census, Madison City, Dane County, Wisconsin, sheet 15B, ED 13-45, enumerated April 1930, matching the citation detail; Line 60: Norman B. Wood, Head, rented (R), age 40, married (M), born New Jersey; birth about 1889–1890 fits the 1889 claim; Occupation is "City Representative" in the Auto Radio Corp industry, matching "City representative"; Marital status is married and relationship is Head, as claimed; wife Mae, 38, is listed on the next line; Residence in Madison, Dane, Wisconsin matches the claimed place
Limits: Census gives age 40 at April 1930, not a birth date; it implies a birth in 1889 or 1890, which fits the 1889 claim; The census does not give the full middle name (Bentley); it shows only the initial "B"; Handwriting is somewhat hard to read, though the entry is legible enough to match the claim; The image cannot confirm that this Norman B. Wood is the same man as the person in the database beyond name, age and details; the details are consistent
