Mrs. Starrett was united in marriage to Mr. Starrett, July 12, 1887. (See other notices of these families elsewhere in this work.) Frank Starrett was the son of L. S.

[Stephen Robbins' notes, 11 April 2010. It seems odd that the list of children above does not include Charles Robert Starrett, born 28 March 1904.
Also, the birthdate given for John (above) must be wrong.
