Head of household at 1244 Clouet St, New Orleans, LA on 6/5 or 6/6/1900 is Christy (Christian) Silbernagel, a 29 year old white male, born December 1870 in Louisiana. He owns his home, is employed as a grocer, and though his parents were born in Germany, he speaks English and can read an write.
Living with him is his mother-in-law, Lena Zimmer, a 63 year old woman born February 1837, in Germany where her parents were also born. She emigrated to the US in 1853, and speaks English and can read and write.
Children in the house are:
Son - Philip, 11 years old, born January 1889 in Louisiana, is attending school.
Son - Matthew, 9 years old, born December 1890 in Louisiana.

Joseph, 15 years old, born November 1884 in Louisiana, and is a grocery clerk, speaks English and reads and writes.
Next door, 1238 Clouet St, is a Zimmer family. Since there is no mention of Christian's wife Mary Zimmer or son John Peter Silbernagel, and the Orleans death index list the death of a Mary P. (F.- typo?) Zimmer 10/15/1898, two days after John Peter Silbernagel was born, it is likely they died before census date. (confirmed that Mary died 2 days after giving birth, and John died at 10 months)
Likely, Mary's mother moved in to take care of the kids.

According to New Orleans City Directories inline at Ancestry PlusMedical:
1890 Christian Silbernagel lives on south side of Urquhart between Clouet and Louisa, and is employed as a turnkey at Parish Prison.
1891 He now live at 174 Clouet, and is a sheriff's deputy. In Orleans, parish prison is run by a sheriff, so he may still be working at the prison. This may not be our Silbernagel, as by 1900 he runs a grocery.
