    Cause of Death: Heart Attack
    Research and notes - Deborah Sweet:
    A certified copy of the Marriage registration for Dad & Rose, which she
    obtained inAugust of 1988 (this having had something to do with Grandma
    Sweet's estateand Dad having to prove that they were legally divorced?)
    gives his birthyearas 1926 - this is incorrect:
    1. Death Certificate shows dob 1925. see below.
    2. Birth Certificate shows dob 1925. see below (additionally, what
    little Military records I have also show 1925)

    3) Oneonta Plains Cem. visit 5/5/2001 - photos taken of grave. Grandma is
    buried in the WRIGHT family plot, NOTthe Sweet family plot.
    Also visited the home she had built at 428 Main St. Itis still there,
    2001, owned by George Monser, who tells me that he had purchased it from
    the estate of Dr. Leroy House in 1968. Dr. House bought the house from
    Judge Grant, who had bought it from Grandma and Grandpa. Dad had stopped
    up several years ago and visited, at which time Mr. Monser gave him the
    photo of the house taken in the 50's(?)/ He stated that the oak tree Dad
    hadplanted by the garage as a child is now huge. I took new photos.

    Helen is buried in the WRIGHT family plot, in the same grave as her
    beloved grandparents, Sophia Gibson and William Wright. Her parents
    Madaline Southworth and William Gibson Wright, and her brother W. Clyde
    Wright andhis wife Mildred E. Williams are on the other side of the

    the main cem. road, on the right, after the entrance. There are two large
    shrubs on either side. I was personally there when she was buried. As a
    side note, for anyone who knew Helen, she was cremated, per her own
    request. She had wanted Dad (William Gilbert Sweet, her son), Uncle Clyde

    of June 1924 at Unadilla, in the county
    of Otsego....solemnize the rites of matrimony between Stephen
    GilbertSweet of Milford in the county of Otsego....and

    and
    Harold Sweet as witness... [Harold was Stephen's brother. I do
    not know who the Minister was, ie., what denomination (poss.
    Methodist or Presbyterian) or if they married in a church or in the
    Minister's 'parlor'(likely), as the certificate is not that
    specific. I do not know who Reka de Bloomwas, but she must
    have been one of Grandma's friends whom she brought asher
    witness/bridesmaid. I wonder if she could be in any of those
    photos from Grandma's girlhood, or if it would be possible to
    track the de Bloom family down to see if they have any photos to
    compare.I also wonder if Grandma's parents approved of her
    marriage. - d. sweet]

    Info fromObits, Madaline's notes, personal recollections:
    Went to Westminister College,Pennsylvania
    Farmed in Delaware Co., NY, near Milford/Milford Center - farm at
    Goodyear Lake
    He was a Sheriff of Otsego Co. for 3 years in the early 1930's.
    According to Grandma Sweet (his daughter), he was so grossly overweight
    that in order for him to be weighed by the doctor, he had to use the
    scales at the feed store. [I am not sure if my recollection on this is
    correct. It may have been her Grandfather William Southworth, Madaline's
    father, who was soobese. Which may be the reason he died so young. I
    remember her saying thathe (whichever one it was,) dropped dead
    suddenly. D.Sweet]
    Had something todo with the beginnings of IBM. Have not found any
    mention of this anywhere though.

    Madaline's line gives us our MAYFLOWER lineage through the following
    Mayflower Passengers, a total of six so far:
    1) John ALDEN
    2) MULLINS - Priscilla, and her parents William and Alice
    The ALDEN - MULLINS line comes tous through the SOUTHWORTHS.
    3) FULLER - Edward and his son Samuel who came onthe ship, and other son
    Matthew, who came later. This line comes to us through the ROWLEY's (see
    Ithamar Rowley, who is also one of 'our' Revolutionary War Veterans) and
    it is a double line, secondly through Dimmis Gates's father Stephen
    Gates, also a Rev. War Vet, who married Esther Fuller, a dau. of John

    Notes:
    Research and source notes - Deborah Sweet:
    1) b. Seward, Schoharie Co. 1860
    Then in Portlandville by 1868, when his youngest sibling was born.
    Then Milfordby 1881, Madaline b.
    2) Full name at birth may have been James William Southworth, but there
    is no record of his death at Albany under that name. I have put in a
    2nd/new search request for his death cert. using the name William. It
    seems that all other records I have found list him simply as William. The
    James came from Madaline's DAR application.

    **note: gives place of birth as Maryland, NY, but on her marriage
    certificate itsays Oswego, NY - it could be that is her father's place
    of birth, as the info given for her father's name says: Wm. A. Southworth
    - but the Southworth iscrossed out and Hanor is written in. Other info
    shows her father to have been Augustus Hanor. Also shows mother's name as
    ANNA Snyder, not Hannah, as itshows on her death cert.

    Notes:
    Research and source notes: Deborah Sweet -
    1) 4/11/2001 - NYS Dept of Health,Albany does not have marriage record
    for Ida Hanor and James W. Southworth, date range 1/1/1881 -
    12/31/1881[Albany has no earlier records, I need to write next, the Town
    and County Clerks]
    I may resend under just William Southworth, as they didn't find any
    James William record and resent for that under William. Though his dod is
    1883, so may be no record anyway, under either name.If one turns up
    under William, then I'll resend for marriage under William,although I
    wonder if they didn't cross check before under Ida's name.
