* According to Susan Walters, there is a funeral record on August 16, 1886 at Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church in Trumbauersville, Pennsylvania at age "61 y 2 m 21 d". This would make William about a week older than the date we have for his birth.
** I have no specific information, but my inability to find anything about Mary beyond the 1870 Census leads me to believe she probably died as a young child. Her mother's 1900 Census record indicates that only 4 of her 5 children are still living. All the others were still alive. The note in fn.4 indicates only 4 of 5 still living. Based on its contents, it appears to have been written about the time of William's death in 1886.
*** The Scheetz History by Sally Scheetz mentions only three unnamed children who died young, but the notes in the Scheetz Bible seem specific on this point.
