Research Notes

The transcribed record has Gould as Elizabeth's maiden name. If you look carefully it is Simons. If one is not familiar with names and old fashioned handwriting it is difficult to interpret.

The name of James Loomis on the death record is James L but is Loomis J in the will and Loomis on the marriage record. On his death record his wife is Dona Casto but on the marriage record it is Ladona Casto.

Mary's name in father's will is Mary E Ware but Simeon's, her husband, surname is transcribed as Wase. His parents are listed as just Harry and Mary.
