In my last post I left out a word.In my accounting of the boating tragedy, I should have said Milo and Rollin's 'children' are two of the 58 grandchildren of Ephraim Pelton, Jr, and Statira Holcomb Pelton.In fact, they may have been unfortunately left out of the count of this couple's grandchildren some 50 plus years later in writing the Pelton book, as my research now finds that there were at least 60 grandchildren, rather than 58, as stated in that original Pelton book.I have birth information and, at minimum, census records or newspaper accounts on all 60 grandchildren.
