The record below seems to be the only Gustav Bastian that fit.
No sign of a Marie or Arthur.
Maybe the other records might help.

BTW, was Arthur Bastian b.1853 the same as the one living in Worcester,
Massachusetts in 1920?? With a wife Minnie Baron b.1875 and a mother in
law Amelia Baron b.1844 ??
In the census it says he arrived in 1883.
