- The page marks inferences separately and traces family relationships through census, marriage, obituary, and military-index records.
Field notes
The page uses records beyond the original newspaper accounts to establish relationships and biographical details. It cites, among other materials, the 1945 Florida state census, the 1950 census, marriage records, an obituary, and military indexes. The clippings themselves reportedly refer to two of the wives only by their husbands’ names, while later records help identify them.
