Transcriptionist's note: There are significant differences in the spellings in some of the names between the 1889 military registration docket and that of the previous year. The spelling of the clerk in the original record has been methodically retained in all cases, even in those cases where I'm aware that a particular Clarion County family typically spelled their name differently than the clerk. If your ancestor is in here with his name mis-spelled, it's probably because the clerk spelled it that way in the original record, although it is of course possible that I've made a mistake in the transcription.

Another complication is that the clerk's handwriting is very ambiguous in regards to small r's, n's, and m's, and even i's, since he's not particular to carefully place the dot exactly over the i's either. As a result, it's sometimes dificult to decipher names with these letters. For instance, HANEL could just as easily be HARREL, BARRIS could be BANIS, and EMRICH could be ENNICH, ERMICH, or even EMIRCH or ENINCH, and so on. In most cases I could figure out what the correct name was (I think!) by studying other resources for the township, but it's possible that there are some mistranscriptions in this regard. If you're aware of any possible mistakes, please feel free to write to the Clarion County Historical Society and I'll be happy to re-examine the original.
