• Notes

  [Woodlawn-1905] has lists Elvira’s age at death as being 68 years, 2 months, and 26 days. This places her birth on 21 Oct 1836. This date is contradicted by her family’s birth records, [Boothbay-2002a]. [11, 15] [US-1860-1c] has given name as “Alvira,” but this is not supported by any other sources including [MaA-1859a]. [2, 7] Elvira W Sawyer was living as a boarder in the Boston household of her future husband Joseph Andrew Tutein and his mother Nancy (Stacy) Tutein in 1855. [5]
