Montgomery Co. IN naturalizations

My trip to the main Tampa FL library yesterday bore some unanticipated
fruit, as there was a book which provided naturalization records in a format which I could easily pick out those from Clare (mostly men, but also one nun naturalized in 1923). There are enough entries that I will divide the info into two postings. These notes are my version of the book's version of the county records.

Also in the indicated book, a second series of extractions are shown, from
index cards which volunteers either made while viewing Montgomery County naturalization records or saw while at the courthouse. Full certificates can be ordered by using the volume/page references, although not every entry has that info, indicating an omission by a volunteer or the publisher. The spellings are as shown in the book.
