1. Gertrude Pauline Trumbo was born on 7 Aug 1904; died on 16 Mar 1988.

Notes:

Several online trees show his first wife as Maria Bair or Bayne, and further show them as the parents of Adelbert J. Senter, born 6 Aug 1849 in New York.

His date of death on these trees is shown as 10=903 or 26 Dec 1908. The 1908 date of death shows that Barry County Death Records, on microfilm at the Hastings Public Library, Barry County, Michigan as the source of this information.

Cornelius married Cynthia F. Carleton on 8 Oct 1882 in Orange, Ionia County, Michigan. Cynthia was born on 23 Dec 1843 in Piscataquis County, Maine; died on 6 Jun 1918 in Woodland, Barry County, Michigan; was buried in Lakeside Cemetery, Lake Odessa, Ionia County, Michigan.

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.
