• Notes

  Frances married her husband in her mothers home and both Frances and Charles died at home. She died of the flu and Charles died of locked bowels, although many of the children believed he actually died from a ruptured appendix. Both are buried in the McEldowny Cemetery in Lewis Co., Kentucky. They had 8 children. Denver and Dallas are both buried beside Frances and Charles.
