    • William Street claims that he was born 23 Jan 1880.
    • His age at the time of registration was 38 years.
    • He claims to be a citizen of England.
    • He claims that his occupation was that of “Laborer” for (Sunderland Brothers Company?) located at 20th and (Center?) in Omaha, Douglas, Nebraska.
    • He was identified as having gray eyes and dark brown hair.
    • He lists his address as being 3211 Leavenworth (Street?) Omaha, Douglas, Nebraska.
