Ara Dell Gilmore b. Jun 1876 Michigan, USA d. 17 Jul 1942 Plymouth, Wayne County, Michigan, USA: Our Family History

1876 - 1942 (~ 66 years)

Personal Information | Sources | All | PDF

Name	Ara Dell Gilmore [1, 2, 3]
	Charles and Kate's divorce record (newspaper) mentions her "custody of children" implying more than one. The 1880 census names her as "Ora," but the G. F. McSorley tree on Ancestry names the second daughter as "Ara Dell Gilmore," born about 1876. [Ara's sister Harriet married a McSorley, so this is likely a descendant]. The 1891 and 1895 Alpena, Michigan, directories name her "Miss Ara D. Gilmore." Her marriage index record names her (or is transcribed as) "Ora Dell Gilmore." It is worth noting the fifth person found in the 1880 Charles Gilmore household, "Anna Duell," age 18, servant. Similar to "Ana Dell."
