Thank You for the post. I wish more Obits, were like this one with lots of detail, names and dates.

Wouldn’t that be great – obits should give us the parents’ names to get us back another generation!

I’ve been cleaning up my files and came across a folder with links to this blog and obit. I created a tree to see what else I could find and I found this comment on a correction for a name in a census record. I thought you’d like to info so that you could contact the person (Theresa K. Ellenwood) who wrote it… — Here is what she wrote for correction: Francis Porter GODDARD rather than Francis P Gradarus
Correction due to an error in transcription.
This is my GGGG Grandfather: Francis Porter GODDARD Can be confirmed via 1840, 1860, 1870, 1880 census records on Ancestry.com Thank you for correcting. Theresa K. Ellenwood
