Footnotes:

1 . Andrew Jr. was the father of Miles Ott -- unfortunately, two names are listed for Miles' mother -- "Sarah" and "Ann". Neither are buried with Andrew in the Washington Boulevard Cemetery.

TOP

2 . I don't know anything else about Lisette. Is she "Sarah" or "Ann"? A third wife? Or were Sarah and Ann not wives?

TOP

3 . Miles was married more than once. This is his first marriage. The woman who signed as Miles' mother (Ann) was illiterate, as indicated by her signature, which is a "pen mark" (or more commonly known as an X.)

TOP

4 . It is interesting to note that Emma Keiter is supposed to have run a house of ill repute in Southside Williamsport. She also reportedly attacked Miles, and was consequently sent to the mental hospital in Danville, PA.

TOP

5 . This is the second marriage for Miles. This time, his mother is listed as Sarah. Also -- the application for marriage was completed by the court clerk.

TOP

6. I included Cora Parish because she is Chester's mother. She had Chester out of wedlock, as a result of an extramarital affair with Miles.

TOP

7 . Chester disappeared in 1938, and at some point moved to Washington State. He married Ruby Splawn, and they had the two children mentioned above. Oddly, his death certificate lists his place of birth as "Butte, Montana", which is not true. He was born in Williamsport, PA.
