United States of America, State of Illinois, County of Cook, ss:

Be it remembered that on this 19th day of December, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and eighty-four, in the circuit court of Cook County, in the State of Illinois (the same being a court of record, having a clerk and seal), and of the December term, thereof, for the year aforesaid, Harry Rice, an alien, came into court and applied to be admitted as a naturalized citizen of the United States; and it having appeared to the satisfaction of the court that the said applicant arrived in the United States a minor under the age of eighteen years, and that he has resided within the limits and under the jurisdiction of the United States for and during the full term of five years last past, and one year and upwards immediately preceding the date hereof in the State of Illinois, and that during said term of rive years he has sustained a good moral character, and appeared to be attached to the principles contained in the Constitution of the United States, and well disposed to the good order, well-being, and happiness of the same; and that he has arrived at the age of twenty-one years, according to the several provisions of the acts of Congress heretofore passed on that subject; and he having nowhere in open court taken and subscribed the oath required by those laws, to support the Constitution of the United States, and to renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to every foreign prince, poteniate, state, or sovereignty whatever, and more particularly all allegiance which he may in any wise owe to the Emperor of Austria, of whom he was heretofore a subject.

It was therefore ordered and adjudged by the court that the said Harry Rice be, and lie was thereby, admitted to all and singular the rights, privileges, and immunities of a naturalized citizen of the United States, and that it be certified to him accordingly, which is done by these presents.
