N1) Elena Frances Swindell -- not proven yet; only found on 
family group sheets found in Salt Lake City LDS.

N2) Emily and Wesley Whittenberg are buried in Schoolton 
Cemetery in apparently unmarked graves (they are not listed on 
the enumeration for the cemetery but their death certificates 
say that's where they are buried).  Their daughter, Maud Ball, 
is also buried there (in a marked grave).  Schoolton Cemetery 
is located in the north-east part of Seminole County, Oklahoma.

Go north 1 mile, turn west at EW 111 & NW 368 marker,
