 My
great-great grandfather never became a naturalized citizen of the United
States. During World War I, his brother, C.C. Schaefer had fallen
ill, Chris needed to go see him.
C.C. was in Oklahoma, Chris was in Indiana, the U.S. government
had to issue a passport for Chris to travel from Indiana to Oklahoma,
Chris was deemed an enemy alien. Below is a poor Xerox copy of that
passport. This copy was given to me by Lowell Shafer, where he got
it, is unknown to me. Someone in our family may have the original, I would
love to have a better copy, a scanned image would be nice. |
