Corrine, The site is: https://familysearch.org/ You will see the link to the Catalog at the top. You can search for the County or try a Keyword search for naturalization. The Naturalization process was standardized in 1906. If your person applied after that the questions would be the same. The Family History library is in Salt Lake City Utah. You can search for a center on their site https://familysearch.org/locations Film rental is about $7.50 now. You can register and order a film online. They are in the process of digitizing their records but that could take years.
