• Notes

  2011-Sep • Father's will leaves HJ only $1. Wonder if Norman wasn't keen on HJ moving to Omaha - OR if HJ moved to Omaha because of a falling out with his father? 2010-Nov • Found Marriage record for Henry J Matthews son of Norman & Melvina. I think that Henry J is the same as H Jewitt. Ages are appropriate
