The country of birth or alligence was Germany. The witnesses were John Schroder & John P. Clennon. This is recorded in Naturalization Book 2, page 187. The intent to become a citizen was dated in Grundy County on 29 March 1877. Neither of these documents gave any further information. The long form that includes a great deal of information wasn't used until about 1906. Sometimes intentions did give some information, but this one did not. Lea
