Those numbers represent census codes. Page is 105 in the census book, row is row 29-34 on that page, dwelling 219 is another number used for the census only as the number of dwellings the census taker had done in the area, household is the number of households in that particular census of the town or township. The numbers do not tell you where they lived.
In my research work on the family it was determined they lived in Orange City on sort of an acreage. I did not get into finding the exact lot description. I have a picture of the family in front of their house in Orange City. If they owned the property, I would think there would be a record of the warranty deed in the Sioux County Court house Recorders office.
Do you know of the Wibben book I did back about 1983? It has a lot of ancestors information and descendants in it. I would like to know your relationship to Gerrit K. Wibben and Tietje DeGraaf. They died I believe it was in 1899-1900 as residual results of Typhoid fever, and left seven children orphans. (including my grandmother Tena Wibben, Mrs. Klaas VanderPol) They had just one son who retained the name Wibben, Eben Wibben and Tena Balkema. Therefore, I am assuming you are descended from that family. Are you doing any extensive family history work on them? I would be most interested in the results.
