Transcriber's Notes:
The use of an * indicates an omission or error made by the original recorder.
The use of a ? indicates a word or letters that could not be read, due to
quality of original document.
Manifest statement: The word "swear" should have been inserted by the
ship's master at the position designated with "*".
Generally, occupations as recorded do not appear to be reliable. "Minor"
is used for people both over and under what may have been considered
legal age. Whenever "Laborer" or "Miner" is indicated as occupation
for a female passenger, I have done so because of the presence of a
ditto mark on the list for that name.
All Cabin passengers and the first five Steerage passengers are listed
first name then last name. All others are listed last name then first name.
They are not numbered on original.
Cabin Passengers
8 Sarah Rhodes: Age written as 511 or 5" in the years column.
11 W.A.Butler: Line drawn through word "Merchant" in occupation column.
13 Philip Shoe: Line drawn through word "Sot." in occupation column.
16 Martha Beck: Last name could possibly be Beek.
24 J. V. Virger: Age written as 511 or 5" in the years column.
26 A. Strassler: Last name could possibly be Strasslee.
27 Carl Sch??e: Age written as 511 or 5" in years column.
Steerage Passengers
2 Mary Ann Billing: Age written as 411 or 4" in years column.
47 Wurth Franz: Occupation could possibly be machinist or mechanic.
133 Koch Johann: Age 28 was written in the "months" column but should
probably be read as years since occupation is shown as Laborer.
134 Beck Bertha: No age given.
146 Kuch Marie: Although this passenger shares same last name with
passenger immediately preceding her, a different place of origin
was written for each.
