Notes
a. Note:   Mary Agnes Capels, known as Mamie, is remembered as a strong, hardworking woman. Kate (Capels) Spies remembers that, as children, she and her brother, Jim, were required to stay in the sitting room at 1010 Avery Avenue while her mother, Elizabeth (Findlay), visited with Mamie. The first time she ever saw the living room of the house was at her grandmother Mamie's funeral, where she was laid out. Kate also remembered that Mamie kept a big garden in the backyard where much of the family's food was grown, including chickens. There was a summer kitchen at the rear of the house where she did her canning. Unusual for houses at that time, it had two bathrooms. Mary Capels gave birth to twelve children in the house at 1010 Avery Avenue. Janie (Capels) Tremont remembers that Mary's midwife, Mrs. O'Brien, lived across the street at 1011 Avery Ave.

  According to Mary A. Capels' death certificate, issued January 12, 1935, from the Onondaga County Dept. of Health, the cause of death was a Cerebral Hemorrhage, with Diabetes Mellitis a contributing factor. The cerebral hemorrhage, which may have been equivalent to a stroke, occurred 10 days before her death, and she suffered from diabetes for 9 years. She died at home. Her trade is listed as Housework. Information in the certificate was provided by Edward Capels.
  Kate Spies recalled (January 13, 2002 phone conversation) that the Undertaker Carroll was either a cousin or a brother of her grandmother. She also recalled that there were Carrolls in West Monroe, NY who were some relation to her grandmother. They raised turkeys. Though she would pass through West Monroe to get to Constantia, where she worked one summer doing housework at Rosewood, a camp owned by the owners of Harney's Men's Shop, Kate never knew or met any Carroll relations there.
