    Notes 
    • "Mandy served as postmistress of Wilhan, a temporary post office in the vicinity of Old Salem. She had sheep cut, spun, dyed and wove the wool to make her clothing & used a 28 gauge shotgun with accuracy. She lived in an old homeplace in Old Salem, now just across the road from Camp Bill Stark....Tony and Amanda had 5 daughters, all of whom lived in the Call area. Georgia, Ola, Trudy, Laura and Paul Jones (we called her Paulie). All 5 married, two, Laura and Trudy died young. I believe I was told it was of "consumption." Ola married Clarence Wightman, a lawyer, partner of Handcock, and they had three children, Tom, Ola Amanda and George. All married, moved away and had their families away from this area. Paulie married & divorced Royal McMahon, she had one daughter, Mary Lynn, who married and lived until her death in Alaska" (email from Phyllis Martin .
