1900 United States Federal Census

Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): supports, confidence 4/4, tier record.
The image is a readable original 1900 census page for Philadelphia Ward 24, ED 578, sheet 10, matching the citation. Line 38 lists Geo. Jr., son, born July 1891, age 8, single, "at school", in the household of Geo. Wood, which fits the claimed residence, relation, status and occupation. The initials are somewhat unclear, but the name, age, family and place all fit.
Matches: Census header: Pennsylvania, Philadelphia County, Philadelphia, Ward 24, ED 578, sheet 10 matches the citation detail; Lines 35-39: household headed by Geo. Q. [likely S.] Wood, age 41, telegraph operator, born Canada (English); wife Mary; sons Norman, Geo. V. [likely S.] Jr., Franklin; Line 38: "Geo. S./V. Jr.", relation Son, white male, born July 1891, age 8, single, born New Jersey; Occupation column reads "at school", matching Student; Marital status S matches Single; relation Son matches; Father's birthplace Canada (Eng) and mother's New York are consistent with the head and wife in the household; Birth July 1891 matches the claimed 1891 birth year
Limits: The head's middle initial is hard to read (looks like Q or S), and the son's initial is unclear, so the "Slack" middle name is not confirmed by the record; The census does not show the 1977 death, so it cannot confirm the full life span; The census shows the household location only by street and house number (house 3207, a Water St/Walnut-type street, hard to read), not Ward 24 beyond the header
