The Special Veteran's 1890 Census Reprise

I'm going to see if transcribing the 1890 census into a Word document allows me to post it here. I tried in Excell but that did not work out. There are four pages, I've transcribed one so far. It is actually for the Town of Venice, our neighbor and at one time part of Scipio. It contains the name of one of my great-grandfathers, Frederick A. Peckham. I'm not too satisfied with how it appears, but for now it will have to do. Let me know what you think:

Page No. ____ Eleventh Census of the United States
Supervisor’s District No. ____ SPECIAL SCHEDULE
Enumeration District No. ____ SURVIVING SOLDIERS, SAILORS, AND MARINES, WIDOWS, ETC.
Persons who served in the Army, Navy, and Marine Corps of the United States during the war of the rebellion (who are survivors), and widows of such persons, in Venice, County of Cayuga, State of New York, enumerated in June, 1890.
