So help me God.
Sworn to before me this 3 day of April 1897

Transcriber's Notes:
All destinations Pa and Ia are written exactly alike.
19 - unable to read first name due to dark area on microfilm copy. Although it is written
New Hartford, Pa, it is assumed that New Harford, Ct was meant.
22 - listed as citizen of US
47 - destination probably means Canton, Ohio
55 - destination could have meant St. Paul, Minnesota
60 - given name could be Is, possibly an abbreviation for Israel.
82 - there appears to be a tear or mark across name and age, making transcribing the age
impossible.
81 - surname could be Winen, Wiven, Wiren
91 - surname could be Hjorth or Hjonth, first initial of given name looks like an F not
crossed, possibly a T for Tage?
95 - destination could have meant Milwaukee, Wisc.
109- destination could have meant Clermont, PA or Clarmont IA
116- instrument maker on original (abbreviated for space)
137- destination transcribed as written, I think Cans. might be an abbreviation for
Kansas but I cannot find a Lenon.
