Number of Infants 20 Twenty (This notation is written at the end of
the manifest. There were no infants listed on the passenger list.)
General notes:
No ages are recorded for passengers 68-93.
The writer of the manifest sometimes used a small 'f' or 't' at the
beginning of a name or place. These words have been transcribed as
written.
Place of origin written as Wurtembg is Württemberg
Passenger notes:
8 Ten?eaff - The questionable letter is a tall letter. It has some
charateristics of a 't', but it could be an 'l'. Giving the possible
names of Tenteaff or Tenleaff.
9 W??ter - Could be Wanter, Wauter, Wonter or Wouter
41-44 Me?hr - Could be Meehr or Meohr.
45 ?ukinger - Probably Sukinger, but could be Lukinger
179 Dorner - Sex designated as F, but Antoine probable a male
238 Herbert - There is a blot on the age. It appears to be 18.
257 Muller - There is what looks like a "chi" symbol in the first
part of the given name. The name is probably Christian
260 Viffe - The name is written Viffe, but since the "V" and "K" are
made identically except for a small down-stroke to the right of
the V-shaped part of the "K", it is possible that this name is Kiffe.

The Atchison Daily Champion
February 10, 1911
CHRISTIAN WEIK DEAD
An old and Respected Citizen of Atchison County (Kansas)
Christian Weik, one of the oldest and most highly respected citizens
of Atchison county, died this morning at 9 o'clock, at his home 10
miles northwest of Atchison on the Good Intent road. The deceased
was 73 years of age and death was due to old age and a complication
of diseases. He leaves a widow, six daughters, one son and two
step-sons. The names of the daughters are Mrs. August (Lizzie)
Hagen, Mrs. Henry (Mary) Klostermeier of Atchison, Mrs. R. (Carrie)
Mueller of Stillwater, Okla., Mrs. M.L. (Dora) Stephens of Atchison,
Mrs. Ira (Rosa) Graves of Effingham, and Mrs. Gus (Lydia)
Hekelnkaemper of Atchison. The son is John Weik and the step-sons
are William and Otto Glaman. J.H. Thaden of Atchison, is a nephew of
the deceased. The remains will be brought to Atchison tomorrow and
taken to the home of his daughter, Mrs. Henry Klostermeier, the
funeral occurring Sunday afternoon from the German Lutheran church,
Rev. Bundenthall officiating and the interment being in Mount
Vernon. The deceased was born in Wurtenberg, Germany, and came in
one of the old sailing vessels to America in 1854, coming direct to
Atchison county at that time. He was a successful farmer and a man
who will be greatly missed in the community in which he lived so
long.
[The daughters of Johann Christian Weik were all by his first wife,
Rosine. His only surviving son, Johannes Heinrich Weik (John Henry),
was by his second wife, Johanna Peusker or Peuker.]
