• Notes

  He died of pneumonia just after turning 42; he was much missed by his children. There is also an un-named daughter with this family in the 1900 census, born May 1900 (aged "8/12," eight months, at the census taken on June 14th). Why un-named at such a late age? Apparently she did not live.
