I cannot read the occupation of Higgins, Arza on line 35. Can anyone make it out. "Driving (???)"
In the next census he is listed as Teamster.
Thanks for any help.

Yep, it's that second word I am struggling with.
Driving <????>
Laborer? Teamster? Teacher? Nothing seems to fit.

I think it is driving team. The t matches the one in school Teacher on a line above. His e is clear, the a matches the open topped a that appears in a lot of the words farmer in other lines. That leaves the three humped letter m.

Ah yes I think it’s team. Good detective work. Thank you!!
He was a sloppy writer though. Glad I could be of help. Just passing it on, as the expression goes.
Indeed!! I always appreciate Wikitree collaboration.
