Cynthia F. Carleton

Notes:

LaVonne Bennett, in April 2000, emailed:

I also found his widow's 2nd marriage: Liber D, page 1; Cynthia F. Smith, 37, of Odessa, bpl ME, on 10-8-1882 at Orange, Ionia Co, MI, marr Cornelius Center, 57, b Orleans Co, NY, farmer. Witnesses were Peter J. and Mary Fellows, both of Odessa.

It seems Cynthia's new surname should be spelled Senters, according to Lakeside cem records. There's a Cynthia F. Senters who d age 74 6-10-1918 (from the great 1918 influenza epidemic?). She d in Woodland, so there's another Barry Co record to find.
