From Patrick Stone:

The 1880 U.S. census lists a certain boarding house in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The place seems respectable enough; it houses a real estate dealer, a lawyer, a private secretary, an agent for type writer [sic], bookseller, cloth merchant, and a silverware dealer. But the landlady (who presumably provided the information for the enumerator) seems to have found one occupant less than upright — she listed poor Emil VON CUNDECK’s occupation as “Unknown — Probably Swindler!”

From Marjorie Jodoin:

Sometimes you have to wonder what parents are thinking of when naming their children. I just ran across a mid-1800s “Luta Fisk.”

From Kate – One example of how the meaning of some expressions has changed: The local newspaper announcement of the 1899 wedding of my grandaunt to her husband states that the wedding was consummated in the church. My, how times have changed!
