• Notes

  Family legend has it that Edward and Angeretta, as well as one of their children, died in a smallpox epidemic about 1903 [Source: Dianne Madison]. There is certainly no record of them in 1911, nor is there any known [at least to me] record of Edward, Jr., in 1911 (or thereafter). Since all of their other children either died earlier, or are accounted for in the 1911 Census or later documents, if the family legend is true then child who dies abt. 1903 may well be Edward, Jr. [Bob H]
