I think some of these may be incorrect as to the corresponding nationalities - Murray (Poland?) and since the boundaries in Europe were not the same in 1881 as they are now - some of these "Germans" may have actually been Bohemian? Or I guess anyone from Austria-Hungary might have been considered German by the American press - regardless of their actual heritage: Hungarian, Bohemian, Slovak, etc. Barry Jernigan --part1_0.9a90df6.25449d7a_boundary--
