Found my GG grandparents in 1880 census in an Ohio city. GG Grandfather's
occupation is listed as "hostler". Anyone know what that means or where I
could look it up myself? Thanks!

Thanks. I didn't think to check Google first. I'll do that before I post
next time.

Re: 1880 Occupation
In modern terms, a "hostler" is a teamster who sets up the truck
(tractor/trialer) and hostles the trucks around the yard or warehouse to be
loaded or unloaded with product...
Hope this helps.
