Notes:
In the 1900 census in Galena, William had a wife, Dolly [Brewer] to whom he was married in 1884. They had children, Minnie born April 1886 in Kansas, Arthur born November 1887 in Kansas, and Carrie born June 1882 in Kansas.
After William's death, Dolly married Henry H. Gist in Carthage, Missouri, in 1902.
Her last marriage was to David Weddle in November 1913 in Arthur, Vernon County, Missouri.
Dolly's grandson, Earl McGuire, informed her death certificate in 1949.
Dolly's parents were Robert Wilson Brewer and Mary Jane Hanna. It should be noted that Shirley Belle (Totten) McGuire is most likely "Carrie" Totten, most likely born in 1892 rather than 1882.
