Eli and Sarah indicate that they have been married for 26 years. Sarah indicates that she has had one child, who is still living. William indicates that both his parents were born in New York (the record appears to have been initially written as "unknown" in these boxes, then changed to New York). Eli indicates that he and Sarah immigrated from Canada to Michigan in 1883, and Eli indicates that he was naturalized.
