My Comments notes for Clement W (Spouse 1)
His death certificate says he was the son of William Mertz and Kate Millhoks (aka Catherine Millhoff). It says he was to be buried in Lewistown. And it names his wife, deceased, as Lucey Ross. Census listings confirm he was William’s son.
In his later years, he lived with his sister, apart from his wife. He was still reported as married but his wife, who lived with one or another of her children, claimed to be widowed.
