Notes - LEMPELIUS, Catherine (????-????)
The 1930 Federal Census of Jefferson Township, Cook County, Illinois, USA, enumerated on 22 April 1930.
Anthony GORSKI, head, aged 32, married, house rented for $25 monthly, born in Illinois of German and Michigan born parents, employed as a motor coach conductor;

(NARA Series T626 Roll 474)
NOTE: $25 monthly was a very low rent. Perhaps the next door neighbour, a 58 year old widow named Catherine GORSKI, was Anthony GORSKI's mother. She owned a house worth $3000 and may have subsidised her son's rent.
