• Notes

  Married: Confusingly, although her marriage record is in November 1920, her father's 1918 obituary named a daughter "Mrs. C. M. Smith of LeGrand." I think the Mrs. C. M. Smith referenced may have been their granddaughter, Josephine, whom they may have adopted, since she was married as "Josephine F. Jones." In her widowhood, Bertha may have met and married one of Josephine's in-laws.
