Inaccuracies, Typos, etc.:
My information on my great-aunt Florence is that her middle initial is "E" not "W". "Youngsville, Ohio" should be "Youngstown, Ohio". "Minerva Mealey Winans" should be spelled "Minerva Mealy Winans".
Source(s):
Collection of obituaries kept by Ruth Armeda (Winans) Straughen (1900-1983). Obit was probably published in a Jamestown, NY paper.
Notes:
The Panama reference is probably for Panama, NY, a small town near Jamestown, NY and not Panama, the country.
