1940 United States Federal Census

Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): consistent, confidence 3/4, tier record.
The 1940 census page for Marshfield, Wood, Wisconsin shows George S. Wood, head, age 48, born New Jersey, an accountant, living with wife Amanda and two daughters. The name, with the S initial, and the implied birth year of about 1891–92 fit George Slack Wood Jr. The record does not spell out "Slack" or "Jr.", so it is consistent with the name claim rather than a full statement of it.
Matches: Line 36 shows George S. Wood, Head, male, white, age 48, born New Jersey, in Marshfield, Wood County, Wisconsin, matching the census place in the citation; Birth year of about 1891–92 implied by age 48 fits the claimed 1891 birth; Middle initial S fits "Slack"; Household includes wife Amanda and daughters Christina and Louise, who may be this man's family; Page 7A and ED 71-16 on the image match the citation detail
Limits: The census gives only "George S. Wood", not the full middle name Slack or the suffix Jr.; The record does not show the 1977 death date or the exact birth date or place, other than New Jersey; It does not state that he was the son of a George Slack Wood Sr., so the Jr. is not verified; Identification depends on the family details in the database, such as spouse and children, which this record does not confirm; The handwriting is small and the household was identified from the image only
