    • This is speculation - might not be the right person.
      "Albert Brenholts" was a boarder in someone else's home, working as a bookkeeper. A 17 year old male listed as LD Bates was also a boarder in this home. Alfred would soon be married to Clara Bates, she had a brother who was 17 at the time, his name was Arthur, though we don't know much about him. The Eli Bates family in the 1880 Census does not include Arthur in that house. This could be Alfred Brenholts and Arthur Bates, but it could be two different people entirely.
