  • Notes 
    • NOTE 1./ William Elisha and Cecil John Melmer: e-mail from Jo-Anne Beekx

      William Elisha Melmer and Cecil John Melmer are one and the same. I have a copy of original and there is a notation on the lower right corner (can't be seen on computer image) that states "Registration changed by inking out William Elisha, establishing Cecil John as per declaration by Father. March 4, 1909". I have not been able to find out why.
