several errors in above notes: 1) Edward married Eleanora Caroline Schwantz (sometimes spelled Swantz), her parent's names were Paul Schwantz and Elizabeth Grody; 2) child of Edward and Eleanora is Irene Preston, she had no middle name and she was only child; 3) Edward's address at death was Pape Avenue, not Pope; 4) marriage between Edward and Eleanor was 31 December 1903, not 3 December.
