English translation
In February 1920 Anna Fechter, 51, a widow born in Pennsylvania of German parents, owned (with a mortgage) 523 Dauphin Street; her widowed mother Louisa Boentgen, 79, born in Germany, had come in 1854 and was naturalized in 1861; a German lodger, Carl Leonard, 22, had come in 1910.
Notes. The first letter of the surname is doubtful; the index reads Fector. Grade: PROVEN for the lines as written; PROBABLE that Anna is Anna M. The index row of this sheet in section 10 is retired.
