Notes

Information for her comes from a phone interview of Grace (Rice) Edwards by Lonnie Chrisman, Sept 2, 2002. This information includes the following: That her maiden name was Grace Lavinia Weller (not Barnum), that she died Aug 1, 1962 in Danbury CT at age 78, her birthday was in June, and that she lived on Middleriver Road, Danbury CT. Also, she may have been born in New Milford, CT. Grace Edwards said she was present when she died. Note: The death certificate of Edith Grace (Williams) Rice listed her mother's maiden name as Grace Barnum. However, Grace Edwards confirmed that this was not correct. She says the name Barnum is in the family somewhere, she believed on David Williams' side of the family, but this was definately not her grandmother's maide name. Furthermore, since Grace Edwards was the listed informant for Edith Grace (Williams) Rice's death certificate, this correction should be deemed more accurate. !Census 1930: Middle River Road, Danbury, Fairfield Co., CT: Williams, Grace, head, owns, $3500, has radio, not on farm, age 45 b. CT, married at age 19, par b. CT/CT, occ: custodian in museum --, Edith, dau., age 15 b. CT, single, par b. CT/CT
