Key to the summaries

Photos you can view on this site.
Newspaper clippings you can view here, each counted once; items that are only transcribed, not yet retrieved or cited are counted separately.
Other records: census, certificates, directories and others, counted the same way. A citation is not a scan.
A written story or biography about the person, not a list of facts.
A linked Find a Grave memorial.
A family recollection: an account remembered in the family, with a label for each statement in it.

Male or Female is the sex recorded in the family tree file, not a description of gender; it is left out where the tree does not record it. Age at death is worked out from the dates shown: exact when both dates are exact, otherwise a range (73 or 74) or “about”. It is left out when a date is missing, open-ended or conflicting, or when the dates would make someone older than 110, and when the research has labelled one of the dates Unconfirmed. People who may be living have no summary.
