According to census data, William & Lenora have been married 15 years, and Lenora has had 8 children, three of whom are still living. I believe Everett is William's son by a prior marriage.

    Notes:

    Bertha's record of birth was not written in the Coventry town records when she was born. It was added to the 1889 page on 12 April 1943. Therefore, the assumption is that she was born in Coventry.

    Bertha — Frank A. Tripp. Frank was born 1886; died 1962. [Group Sheet]


  6. 14.  Olive L. Sprague Descendancy chart to this point (3.William2, 1.Eldridge1) was born May 1893, Coventry, Kent Co., RI; died 1975; was buried , Plainland Cemetery, Harkney Hill Rd., Coventry, RI.

    Notes:

    Olive's birth record is not in the Coventry town records. The birth record for sister Florence is also omitted. The record for Bertha was not added until 1943. However, I have made an assumption that these three sisters were born in Coventry, as were their older siblings.

    Olive L. and her older sister who died were probably named after their father's aunt, wife of Aaron Sprague.

    Olive married Archie C. Andrews Abt 1911. Archie was born 1891; died 1968; was buried , Plainland Cemetery, Harkney Hill Rd., Coventry, RI. [Group Sheet]

    Children:

    Notes:

    Florence's birth record is not in the Coventry town records. The birth record for sister Olive is also omitted. The record for Bertha was not added until 1943. However, I have made an assumption that these three sisters were born in Coventry, as were their older siblings.

    Florence's death record at Coventry identifies her parents as William & Lenora.

    In the Federal Census of 1910, Florence is age 13, living with her mother and two sisters in Coventry. It just so happens that they are living next door to Oscar & Anna Andrews, Aunt Velna's parents.

    Florence married William H. Marcotte Abt 1915. William (son of Hyacinthe Marcotte and Alphonsine "Rosie" Plante) was born 18 Jun 1891, RI; died 5 Nov 1980, West Warwick, RI; was buried , Woodland Cemetery, Washington & Knotty Oak Sts., Coventry, RI. [Group Sheet]
