Maeola J SANTMYER

(1.Joseph¹) was born 1 Oct 1906, Westmoreland Co., Pennsylvania; died 14 Apr 2004, Milford, Oakland, Michigan.

Notes:

I question if Maeola is the daughter of Viola and Joseph as she is not listed in the family household in the 1910 or 1920 census. I have to think she is misplaced and belongs with a different Santmyer family.
