Research notes for Mary

Estimated immigration would be 1898-1900. I believe more and more it would have been mid-late 1900 as a 1900 census record cannot be found. Did a quick search for an immigration record. Found this, which looked interesting. I was hoping to find her mother traveling with her and not (what appears to be) a sister. But... interesting.
