I was doing some research on the Ellis Island site and
entered your Eli Till Dickinson and came up with the
following information.
Travelling from Liverpool to New York on SS SCythia on
14 Oct 1924
Eli Till Dickinson, 70 years and 2 months from 2 7th
AVe Carbondale. Name and location of court of
naturalization: Scranton PA District Court. Date of
Papers 12/9/1918.
Also travelling with him was Annie Dickinson 40 years
8 months.

Hope this is of help.
