Research Notes

• The familysearch profile I initially accepted is extremely conflated with another man of the same name. That profile suggests he was married several times, which I couldn't confirm. If you use that profile, please use caution. Double-check this profile for accuracy as well; although I scrubbed the profile there could still be mistakes. I added a household table for his census as well as a link to the clipping of his obituary to assist with sorting out these two men.
