1940 United States Federal Census

The image is readable and shows George S. Wood, age 48, born New Jersey, heading a household in Marshfield Ward 3, Wood County, Wisconsin. Column 17 says 'Same house' for April 1, 1935, so he lived in Marshfield then. The age fits a birth in about 1891, but 'Slack' and 'Jr.' are not shown, so identification depends on corroboration elsewhere.
Matches: Page 7A, line 36: George S. Wood, head of household, white male, age 48, born New Jersey. Age 48 implies a birth year of about 1891–92, which fits 1891.; Column 17 (residence on April 1, 1935) reads 'Same house' for the Wood household, so they lived in the Marshfield dwelling in 1935.; The sheet heading gives Marshfield city, Ward 3, Wood County, Wisconsin, matching the claimed place.; Household: wife Amanda (48) and daughters Christina (23) and Louise (21). Occupation is public accountant (auditing and accounting).
Limits: The census gives 'S.' for the middle initial, not 'Slack', and does not show 'Jr.'. Identity with George Slack Wood Jr. rests on the age and on other tree data.; The 1935 residence is inferred from 'Same house' in the 1940 census. The record does not give a specific 1935 date or address, only April 1, 1935.; The place is Marshfield, Wood, Wisconsin, as the 1940 location. The 1935 column does not name the city again.; Age gives only an approximate birth year, so it cannot confirm 1891 exactly.
