Re: Harriet Sahm's obituary.

Yes, Walter, I think I do disagree.

The copy of the obituary I downloaded (from here?) shows she was married to George "F." Baker, not "E" - I think that was a typo, either by the newspaper when it was printed, or by whoever transcribed it and posted it the web. Such errors, I've found, are rather common.

Her first born son was named Edward Joseph and I think that was probably after her husband and her father, respectively, and her last born son was named George Emory, whom I believe was probably named after her brother, Emory Wilson Chandler.

Because of the magnitude of my Fremont County Genealogical Database (now with almost 36,000 names), I don't generally record source information, but my notes in this case reflect the source of the information on the children of Joseph Wilson Chandler was taken from a rather extensive family history I found at the Fremont County Historical Museum in Sidney during my trip up there a few years ago to research Kate Morgan's story for the book I wrote about her.

George Farmer's first wife (and Kate's mother) was Elizabeth Philamena Chandler, the eldest child of Joseph Wilson Chandler and Mattilda Savage. She had a twin brother, Erastus, but I have no information on him at all.

Regards,

Terry
