Note: N121 Jacob DeValska/Develski's second wife Sophie was known by the family to be much younger than Jacob. After Jacob's death in 1937 she remarried again to a man named Downer, but she did not have more children with him. His name may have been Ernest Downer, according to the search result bolded below. Ernest seems likely because he was also in Mellen at the same time.
She is buried in the same cemetery as Jacob, but in a different plot. She also had a first child, a daughter, out of wedlock and that child was named Marion. This would have been terribly scandalous in those times. ____________
