(One of the others is "Jester Pushie".)<br /><br />Jester was the 8-month-old son of David and Adline MacNut. (And that's exactly how the census taker spelled it.)<br /><br />The mystery of Jester's real name seems to be solved by finding the same family in the 1901 census. There, the now McNutt family appears with 10-year-old *Chester*. <br /><br />As for Mr. Cupid, I would imagine that his first name, being Polish, merely *sounded* like "Myholy" (and perhaps his last name only sounded like "Cupid"). But that's exactly how the census taker wrote them down.Drew Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12537180168534039546noreply@blogger.com
