  • Notes 
    • Birth date, death date and location of death are based on a single matching SSDI record for a “Ethel Goff,” born in 1894 or 1895, who died in Memphis, Selby County Tennessee. [2, 4]
    • At the time of her brother Merlin’s death in 1962, Ethel Masten was reported as living in Memphis, Tennessee. [2]
    • [Bellingham-1962] has the name as “Mrs. Edith Goff,” but this is contradicted by family information. [2, 3]
