Biography

Erma was born on 24 July 1915 in Princeton, Maine. She is the daughter of Irvin Sprague and Inez Corliss.^[1]

She married Harold F. Williams on 25 December 1937.^[2]

In 1940, Erma and Harold were living with her parents in Princeton, Maine, with their two young children, Sandra, aged 10 months, and Dean, aged 0 months. Both of her children are listed as American Citizens born in Canada. It is unknown whether Erma had been living in Canada when her children were born, or perhaps more likely, she crossed the border for medical care as Princeton is very close ^[3]

In 1950 , they were still living with her parents in Princeton.^[4]

Erma passed away in 2009, and was buried at Lakeview Cemetery in Washington County, Maine.^[5]
