                Notes for CLYDE STAFFORD:
                Clyde's father, Robert, was a horse trader who travelled around Adams County 
                until finally settling in Quincy, Illinois.  As a young boy, Clyde attended 
                Washington School through the second grade.  At that time, he became ill with 
                erysipelas and lost both his speech and hearing upon recovery.  Because of 
                these impairments, he was sent to the State Institution in Jacksonville, 
                Illinois.  At the institution, he began to experience problems with his vision 
                and, because it was believed he would eventually be blind, was returned to 
                Quincy.  Clyde, nevertheless, attempted to seek employment, although his 
                efforts were not often taken seriously.  He did work at the Knillte Show Case 
                Works and at the Morris Shoe Factory and eventually obtained viable employment 
                at the Emergency Hospital in Davenport, Iowa, in spite of being turned down 
                initially.  He came to be considered as one of the most valuable attendants 
                employed at the hospital.

             County, Illinois.  She married (1) NORMAN E. FINTON December 05, 1889 in Quincy,  
             Adams County, Illinois, son of MORGAN FINTON and MARIA MORROW.  He was born November 
             1869 in Iowa, and died November 28, 1893 in Marcelline, Adams County, Illinois.  She

            Notes for ELISHA FINTON:
            1.  Obituary from Hancock County paper.

            Death of Elisha E. Fenton

            Influenza has claimed another Hancock county boy in the death of Elisha E. Fenton, and 
            another gold star has been added to Warsaw's service flag, for while he worked in the 
            country south of Warsaw when he reigstered, he stated repeatedly that he considered 
            Warsaw his home town.  He went willingly and cheerfully, too, saying he was glad to 
            serve his country.  Elisha was one of the thirty-five sent from his county to Camp 
            Gordon, Ga., on  he 30th of May last, where he was stricken with influenza week before 
            last and died Toursday(sic) morning, October 24, at 5 o'clock.  The Saturday previous 
            the family received  a dispatch saying he was dangerously ill; on Tuesday came a second 
            stating that he was no better, followed Thursday by a third, announcing his death.  He 
            was born in Marcelline in January, 1891, but for several years past was a farm employe 
            in this vicinity, working for O.P. Jenifer for two years preceding his entrance into 
            the service.  He was a likable, manly fellow and it was with poignant sorrow friends 
            learned of his death.

            The deceased is survived by his mother and stepfather, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Griffin, of 
            this vicinity, and two brothers, Archie, of Lima, and Wilbur, who resides with his 
            parents.

            The remains reached Marcelline Monday and the funeral was held at 4 p.m. that day.  
            Rev. Mr. Nichols of Ursa, who has two sons in the service, officiating.  The members 
            of Co. M., 45th Inf., to which the deceased belonged sent a beautiful floral emblem.
