Notes
a. Note:   RESEARCH BY GEOFF TROWBRIDGE
  Death Certificate:
  Walker Powers
  Male, White, Married Born 31 Mar 1845**(calculates 1835 by DPM & GT Feb 2004 ) in Indiana Died 3 Nov 1910 at 924 N 6th Street, Goshen, IN Age 75** ( ** - Note that someone obviously can't add straight. I think that the age is right, but the YOB should be 1835.) Cause of death: Nervous prostatism and senility Certified by Dr. A.J. Irwin Burial at Oak Ridge Cemetery, Goshen Funeral director: E. Culp Filed Nov 1910, page 64, H-4 Spouse: Mary Powers
  Father: James Powers, birthplace KY Mother: Margaret Walker, birthplace IN
  So it looks like we have solid evidence that James Power remained married to Margaret Walker until his death. Unfortunately, we still don't have absolute, undeniable evidence that Melinda or Peter were children of James and Margaret, but given their ages, the fact that Melinda's father was named James, and the fact that the three of them migrated together from Madison, IN > Mecosta, MI > Elkhart, IN; I'd say the circumstantial evidence is convincing beyond a reasonable doubt.
