Key to notes in parenthesis:
- (name) a name in parenthesis is another spelling for the same person found in
the books. I probably didn't catch them all, but these are the ones I am very sure
of. In many cases, the surname was spelled differently within the same reporting
period, and sometimes on the same page.
-(memorial, pic, bio, obit) the books contain one or more of these additional items
for the person indicated.
-(date) a date in parentheses following a death notation, indicates date of death
as recorded in the books.
