Comment Detail: Source includes name (Shafer, Alice B). Although Alice's middle initial looks like an 'R', as used for her sister Mary's initial, there is a difference in the leg. Looking at the last line on the previous sheet in the census shows another use of this character in what is almost certainly "Bertha" suggesting this is how the enumerator wrote a capital 'B'.
