PETITION FOR NATURALIZATION

  To the Honorable, the Judge of the Court of Common Pleas of Clearfield County,
at a Court holding in and for said county, the 27th day of September, in the
year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and eighty.
  The Petition of Edward Greenaway, a native of England, and now residing in the
county of Clearfield and State of Pennsylvania, respectfully showeth: That your
petitioner arrived in the United States of America, to wit, at the port of New
York, in the State of New York, on the 10th day of May, A. D. 1870, and that in
pursuance of an Act of Congress entitled "An Act to establish a uniform rule of
Naturalization, and to repeal the Acts heretofore passed on that subject," made
a declaration of his intentions to become a citizen of the United States
conformably to the said Act, before the Prothonotary of the Court of Common
Pleas of Huntingdon county, in the State of Pennsylvania on the 23rd day of
September, A. D. 1873, and that he has resided within the limits and under the
jurisdiction of the United States for five years last past, and for one year
last past within the State of Pennsylvania; that he has never borne any
hereditary title, or been of any of the orders of nobility in the kingdom from
which he came or elsewhere.  He therefore prays that he may be admitted to
become a citizen of the United States; and he will ever pray, &c.
