Notes
Immigration
This is the most likely date since it is from his signed petition for U.S. citizenship. The 1900 U.S. Census reports 1892 as his year of immigration and the 1910 U.S. Census states he immigrated in 1881, but both are probably in error. His death certificate indicates he arrived in 1889, again probably in error.Residence
According to the 1910 U.S. Census, he rented this home.Occupation
The 1910 U.S. census specifically stated he was working at a drug factory. A stationary fireman is the worker who operates or shovels coal into a factory's boiler.Naturalization
His petition is filed in the U.S. District Court, Brooklyn, New York in bundle 14, record 55. His naturalization was witnessed by Charles Glenkel of 32 Greenwich St, New York, New York.Census
