• Notes

  «i»Della lost her citizenship when she married John Lonnem and moved to Saskatchewan, Canada. As her granddaughter, Jesse Keenon relates, Della had a very difficult time being reinstated as a U.S. Citizen after she left John Lonnem, from whom she was apparently never divorced. (The Certificate of Naturalization indicates that she is married.)«/i»
