Notes

Note

The relationship of William Arvell Straughn to others is unclear. Some resources have his parents as Hiram Alonzo Straughan and Ruth Ada Turley, including the 1900 census. However, his death certificate lists his parents as Alonzo Straughn and Ruth Summers. The 1910 census and the obituary for Ruth Ada Turley has him listed as her nephew and her obituary says she raised him as a foster son.
