I've sifted through a few Federal Census forms during my research. There are a few areas in the neighborhood that might be of interest to other researchers. The links will take you to Ancestry.com. You'll need an account or the fourteen day free trial to access the forms. Also, if you visit the Fort Worth Public Library, they can give you access to these forms.
1910 Census
Ward 6, District 121
This is the area where the Baird family lived at 512 Hemphill at the time the census was taken on April 15th, 1910. It just so happens the family is on the first page for that district. Note that Ninnie Baird's name appears as "Minnie".
Fort Worth Ward 8, District 134
The area containing the corner of Cactus and Washington is within this district. I've paged through the forms a few times, but so far have been unable to locate an entry for 1015 Cactus.
Interestingly, Henry Slack, who is listed in the Fort Worth City Directory 1909-1910 as residing at 1015 Cactus, is also listed in the census on April 16h as living at 1907 Washington. He must have moved a block South. Currently, there is not a house with the address of 1907 Washington.
1920 Census
Ward 6, District 119
This district should contain 512 Hemphill.
Ward 8, District 132
It's this district that contains the corner of Cactus and Washington. Page 24 in this collection shows the address of 1015 Cactus. A woman, Elizabeth Tuck is shown as head of household, along with two sons, Arthur and Ollie. Arthur is listed as a confectionery salesman. This corresponds with the Fort Worth City Directory of 1920.
1930 Census
It looks like District 33 contains the corner of Cactus / Jefferson and Washington. Page 51 contains the entry for the Cactus home, occupied by the Hugh B. Edens family
If anyone looks through these census pages and finds anything else of interest, please let us know.
