I think its Cordwainer but not very sure. There looks like a similar occupation of some one above him in the census which is a little bit clearer but not 100 % sure. Maybe some one else can get a better look.

Cordwainer

There are Cordwainers, Shoe Makers and Boot Makers on other pages so it must be an industry common to the area.
