1) Martin Southworth Bible:
Births: Lydia L. Southworth Born Oct. 29. 1857
Death: originally recorded on Deathspage: Mrs. Orin Southworth Died
March 19, 1917
recorded second, different hand, on Births page: Lydia L.
Southworth died Mar. 19, 1917
Also in the Bible was a loose piece of paper upon which is written
the names of Orrin & Lydia's children, middle initials included, their
dob's and two notations:
a. "Father died January 28, 1885, 68 years 11 months and 5 days"
b. " James Converse of Oaksville was my mothers, mothers Brother."
a. could only have been written by Lydia. ibid for the
childrens' info.
For b., I need to trace the Converse family back, but I think
it was written by a different person, a grandaughter of Lydia's in
reference to Lydia having a brother James, which is whereI am placing
him for the time being.
