*Records for William's date of birth are inconsistent. The date given here (22 DEC 1880) is from his WWI draft registration. The 1900 census indicates that he was born DEC 1881. His death certificate gives his birthdate as 3 DEC 1877 and his tombstone gives only his year of birth (as 1882).

**She is listed as Salina on her marriage certificate and as Saleany on her death certificate.
