Notes

  • !BURIAL: Ridge Hill Memorial Park. STATUS: 1989 CAP SO: Milton Hackett BURIAL: Ridge Hill Memorial Park. OCCUPATION: Postal Clerk (part time). BIRTH: On the family homestead in Lucas Township near Cottonwood. NOTES: She and her husband Ernest lived in Cottonwood until 1936, when they moved to Ohio. See (ORWOLL DOC 'A') by Milton Hackett for much more detail. NOTE: SELMA HAD NO CHILDREN. KENNETH IS THE GRANDSON OF ERNEST BY PRIOR MARRIAGE. KENNETH WAS ADOPTED BY ERNEST AND SELMA. Letter 1-31-89 Milton says his date in the 'Orwoll Doc' is incorrect and that Lois' date is correct. Lois' date for Selma's birth is 5-23-1881. However, in his letter which states that Lois's date is correct, Milton lists it as Oct 31, which I believe is an oversight. RECHECK [ ] PROBLEM: D-040 lists b. 5-22-1881 and d. 1-1-1965.
