(Andrew A. Douglass would have been my mother's third cousin.)

Notes from his death:

Died at his son's residence near Emerson, Mills Co., Iowa.
Formerly of Stirling, Ontario and late of Elmwood, Illionois.

(There is no reason yet to believe this is the father of William Henry Douglass, except that his
death notice is contained in W.H's memo book and the fact that William Henry Douglass (1853-1923) calls Henry Seeley 'Uncle Henry Seeley' when he visits Canada in 1874. Need to investigate further. ADHjr 10/2002)2 CONT
