Page 212, line 16, should read: His death certificate will probably show the date and place of death . The Accessions List printed in PGM XXXI, page 275, line 39, should read: Index to List of Baptisms and Marriages registered at St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church, Willings Alley. (Philadelphia) Not St. John's Church as printed.
