Event Notes Note (1) In household of his parents. Although his marital status was given as widowed, he was probably separated. His wife, May Hickman Jeffrey, who was not with him, did not die until February 1903, just a few months before his remarriage. She was identified in her death record as May Jeffrey Spurr, marital status married. Note (2) Birth date given in obituary as Dec 11 1873, which is in conflict with brother William's birth date and not consistent with age in census.
