Campbell 23 Male ? U.S. U.S. Transcriber's Notes: * indicates that no occupation was given. ? indicates that letters were illegible. Unfortunately the edge of the manifest with the first names was not microfilmed and there are large smudges blocking the names of the first two passengers and passengers twelve through sixteen. Passenger 9 could have the last name of Crow. Passenger 27 may have a middle or first initial of G but it is not clear. Also, the occupation looks like "Groar" which may be grower. My apologies for the missing information but this film is in very bad condition.
