Celebrity Census — Crime & Punishment

The image above is a close-up view taken from the 1880 U.S. Census for the city of Fall River (Bristol County), Massachusetts. The census records Andrew Borden as head of household, his wife Abby, two daughters and a servant. Chances are good that you already know the name of the youngest daughter — it was more than a decade before Lizzie Borden would be accused of a crime that some referred to the crime of the century.
