Name is Alvena Schnetzer, born about 1890, married white female living in 35 Grenada Place, Montclair, Essex, New Jersey.  She was first married age 33, able to read and write, living with husband, 27 year old John Schnetzer ***I didn't realize the age difference*** and 1 year old son Norman.

John Jacob Schnetzer Naturalization 1937

Okay, while this isn't Alvena Wenkel's naturalization record (since she is natural born citizen, she and her sons are mentioned in her husband's naturalization petition.  Again, they live at 35 Grenada Place, Montclair NJ.  It looks like John's actual signature.  John was Swiss.  It is possible that, since part of Switzerland spoke a dialect of German, they had something in common.  (Well, of COURSE they had something in common!  They were married for a very long time.)
