| 201 | Mary's obituary was published on 8 November 1895, a Friday. It states that she “died last Thursday.” If she died the week before, then she died 31 October 1895. Her headstone just has the month and year of Nov 1895. The administration notice on the same page of the newspaper as her obituary clears the discrepancy. If her son applied for administration on 4 November then she died 31 October 1895. | Gaines, Mary A. (I1595)
|
| 202 | Millard lists his birthplace as Del Rio, Texas on his marriage application. He does not appear on the Texas birth indexes. He listed Oklahoma on his World War II Draft Registration card which matches his family's residence earlier that year on the 1910 census. | Linderman, Millard Cecil (I1574)
|
| 203 | Monroe County, Ohio had courthouse fires in 1840 and 1867 destroying many records. Marriages are extant from 1867. | Family (F603)
|
| 204 | Monroe was likely born in 1855. His death certificate has a birth year of 1850. Records created in his younger years indicate c. 1855. His sister, Martha Eliza, was about a year older and brother Wilburn W. about a year younger in all the family census enumerations. Martha Eliza's age is consistent in census records with a birth year of 1853/4. Her birth year is likely incorrect on her headstone by one year. | Pettis, Monroe Jasper (I2612)
|
| 205 | Nancy's obituary, published on 18 August 1902, says she died on “Sunday,” which would have been 17 August. Her son, George, and administrator, R.V. Fields, both gave her death date as 15 August 1902 in several places in the probate file, beginning in September 1902. | Haines, Nancy (I1741)
|
| 206 | Newspaper article with card received by his mother. They did not know that he had already died. “Two soldiers held prisoner by the Japs, Charles Pettis and Carl Wittfeld, of COCOA, were heard from here last week. Both boys were taken prisoners in May of 1942 when the Philippines were taken by the Japanese, and this is the first word received from either of them for quite some time. Charles Seawright, also of COCOA, was a third prisoner of the Japa- nese taken at the same time. Both cards from Pettis and Wittfeld were typed but signed in ink in their handwriting. They were the usual form cards issued to prison- ers of war by the Japanese, with the addition of a message on the card from Pettis, which read: “Re- ceived your letters and package. Was glad to hear the news and really did like the box, but next time send more food like raisins, concentrated soups, cocoa, candy, dry milk, spices and shirt and pants. R. I. sounds OK and I sure would like to see you all. All my love.” | Pettis, Charles Wilbur (I2601)

| 217 | PVT Charles Wilbur Pettis entered the service 27 June 1941. He served in the 454th Ordnance Company, 27th Bombardment Group. The 454th Ord Co arrived in Manila 20 November 1941 just before the attack on Pearl Harbor. By the first of January they were positioned on Bataan as part of the holding action. Because of the attack on Pearl Harbor, no reinforcements were coming. Due to shortages in food and medical supplies, disease depleted their strength. PVT Pettis was in the Bataan General Hospital #2 from 11–18 January 1942, likely due to this. Corregidor and the other islands in Manila Bay held out but finally surrendered on 6 May 1942. The captured were sent to various prisoner of war camps. PVT Pettis was among the ones held at Bilibad Prison in the city of Manila. The Japanese began using the prisoners as slave laborers. They packed prisoners into what became known as “hell ships,” and were not marked as POW transports. Allied aircraft attacked & sank the unmarked ships. PVT Pettis was one of 1619 Allied prisoners that was put on the Oryoku Maru 13 December 1944 at Pier No. 7 in Manila Harbor. The destination was Moji, Japan by way of Formosa (now Taiwan). The ship was attacked beginning on 14 December and sank on 15 December. About 125 prisoners were killed in the explosions and about 55 were shot while swimming to shore. When the survivors reached shore, 1333 of the original 1619 remained and 286 were dead or missing. The prisoners that survived were squeezed onto a tennis court at Olongapo Naval Base, Olongapo, Zambales, Luzon, P.I., where they were from 15–21 December before being transported to San Fernando, La Union Province, P.I. During those 6 days at least 10–14 deaths were reported and PVT Pettis is believed to be one of those. They were reportedly buried in shallow graves close to the seawall near the tennis court. The survivors were placed on transport ships Enoura Maru and Brazil Maru, both of which were also attacked. Of the 1619 prisoners approximately 400 survived the war. | Pettis, Charles Wilbur (I2601)
|
| 218 | Pvt. William W. Pettis enlisted at Opelika, Alabama in Co. H, 28th Battalion Georgia Siege Artillery. He was captured at Virginia, 6 April 1865 and imprisoned at Point Lookout, Maryland until released on 16 June 1865. | Pettis, William Whitfield (I2586)

| 219 | Ralph served in the U.S. Navy during World War II. He is found on muster rolls of the USS General M.L. Hersey (AP148) and USS Borie (DD704) with the rank of CPhM, Chief Pharmacist’s Mate. | Waters, Ralph (I1124)

| 220 | Ray served in the U.S. Air Force during the Korean Conflict. | Earwood, Morris Ray (I67)
|
| 221 | Robert Marion Cook was likely born 11 November 1851. He was 8 and 18 in the first two census records he appears in although later in life he was shown as born in 1850, including on his death certificate and headstone. The informant was his son-in-law who would not have first hand knowledge. His older brother, John N. was born 2 August 1850 making it highly unlikely that Robert was born November of the same year. | Cook, Robert Marion (I487)
|
| 222 | Robert's birth year fluctuates between 1853–1856 on the census records in his lifetime. Since his birthday is in January, it was before the census was taken. He likely was born in 1854 or 1855. His brother, George W., was born May 1856 making it impossible for Robert to have been born in January 1856. | Folger, Robert J. (I1819)
|

|
