Excerpt from Religious Bodies, 1906, Vol. 1: Summary and General Tables An effort was made at the census of 1880 to secure, mainly by correspondence, very full and complete statistics concerning churches and Sunday schools, but the tabulations were not completed and no results are available for that census. At the census of 1890 the inquiries concerning religious bodies were as follows: Organizations; church edifices and seating capacity; halls, school houses, etc., and seating capacity; value of church property; and communicants or members. A state ment was also requested of the number of ministers in each denomination as a whole, and care was taken to explain the meaning of the terms used, so as to insure results free from ambiguity.
