Source notes
- Sidney Jane and first husband William Wimer were divorced; she remarried in 1906, before William died in 1940.
- Obituary of Sidney Jane Stoughton Conroy names "granddaughter Mrs. Blanche Seamans and great-grandson Stanley Seamans," both of Elwood City PA. Blanche W. Wimer, daughter of Sidney Jane's son Leslie, is the granddaughter mentioned in Sidney Jane's obituary.
- The 1920 census mentions a niece named Blanche. Blanche A. Stoughton,(b.~ 1909) daughter of Solomon R. Stoughton, is the niece of Sidney Jane Stoughton listed in 1920 census.
- Granddaughter Grace Wimer (Lidington), named in "The Wimer Family" as daughter of Lowery Wimer, is not named in the obituaries so perhaps she died before 1930.
- 1930 census: Lowry Wimer (age 44), wife Maud (age 43, born Ohio), daughter Grace (age 13, born Ohio), and mother-in-law Susie Taylor (age 84, born PA) living in Youngstown OH, 1035 Star St., Enum. Dist. 50-19, pg. 8-9 on ancestry.com.
- 1930 census: Blanche M. Seamans age 19,wife, married at age 17, b. PA; Roy A. Seamans age 21, married at age 19, laborer in auto repair shop, born PA, father born USA, mother born PA; son Stanley R. Seamans age 4 months, born PA. New Castle PA, Enum Dist. 37-30, pg. 2 on ancestry.com.
- Searching the 1930 census for the Washington Street address of the Tom Conroy family in 1920 showed a different family living there. Sidney Jane Stougton Conroy could not be found, nor Lester. No entry found for any Conroy in New Castle Lawrence Co. PA, other than a Thomas Conroy, age 59, single, born Ohio, living alone (Enum. Dist. 37-56, pg 16 on ancestry.com).
