  • Notes 
    • As told my his granddaughter, Francie; "As his children married, my grandfather gave each one a section of land. My parent's land and the piece belonging to Aunt Em and Uncle Bert were next to each other so the 3 oldest children of each family grew up together. When I was born, my mother was 38 years old and my father was 43."
