Private Lenwood Collins, 1930 census list Lenwood Collins as a "lodger" with Elizabeth Stelly age 65 at dwelling #269. This would be his grandmother, Elizabeth Stelly (Foreman). Lenwood's age is listed as 18. Other persons in the dwelling include Nettie Stelly age 25 and Irene Stelly age 20. Elizabeth is listed as Head of Household.

Next door in dwelling 268 is Preston Stelly age 31 and Elzika age 24. No other persons in dwelling 268.

On the previous page of the census in dwelling #257 is Napolean Collins, Head of Household age 46, and Elizabeth Collins - wife, age 27, son Lewood (must be Lenwood) age 19, Victor 14, Chester 13, Mary 11, Elma (Alma) 4, Herman 2 and Beatrice 6 months.

So, it appears Lenwood aka Lewood was a lodger at his grandmothers house when he wasn't home with his siblings. Lenwood probably acted as a protector at his grandmothers house as ordered by his father since the man of the house , Adam Stelly died the year before in 1929.
