Notes

a.	Note: NI97 His given name was officially "Harrison" although he used Harry almost exclusively throughout his life. His middle name was either Morton or Martin depending upon your interpretation of handwriting. ---------------------------------------------- Harry is listed in the 1908-1909 edition of the Muscatine City Directory as "Lightfoot, Harry M., panel worker at Huttig Manufacturing Company; boards at 109 Brook". ----------------------------------------------- Possible 1910 US Census Sheet 18B, District 201, Family 121 Sioux City, Woodbury, Iowa, United States Harry Lightfoot..Lodger..22.. This record is probably unlikely because it is not known that Harry ever traveled to Woodbury County, Iowa and this record also shows that his parents were born in PA and IA whereas Harry's were known to be both born in Ohio. There was another unrelated Harry Neal Lightfoot born 10 Oct 1888 in Farmington, Iowa. ---------------------------------------- According to Nancy (Brinkmann) McGinnis in 2001, her mother, Jean Lightfoot-Stedman said that Harry had very poor eyesight and was very tall. ----------------------------------------

c.	Note: DI97 Name: Harry M Lightfoot Event Type: Death Event Date: 31 Jan 1954 Event Place: Chicago, Cook, Illinois, United States Address: 5919 W Walton St Gender: Male Age: 65 Marital Status: Married Race: White Occupation: Carpenter Birth Date: 23 Oct 1888 Birthplace: , , Iowa Funeral Home: Hursen Undertaker Incorporated Burial Place: Davenport, , Iowa Cemetery: Local Father's Name: William Lightfoot Mother's Name: Loretta Linn Spouse's Name: Alma Lightfoot Informant's Name: Alma Lightfoot Entry Number: 3226 Citing this Record "Illinois, Cook County Deaths, 1878-1994," database, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:Q2M4-QRPF : 17 March 2018), Harry M Lightfoot, 31 Jan 1954; citing Chicago, Cook, Illinois, United States, source reference , record number , Cook County Courthouse, Chicago; FHL microfilm . -----------------------------------------------
d.	Note: XI97 Davenport Memorial Park. A work order dated February 1, 1954 indicates his name as "Harrison Lightfoot" and a date of death of 1 Feb 1954. The name on all other records and on his gravestone says "Harry". The grave location is noted as "Section No. A, Lot No. 157 N 1/3, Grave Location 1st space north". Total charges were $50.00 and apparently billed to the funeral home of Hill & Frederick but with the name and address of his wife at the bottom. His wife's name was listed as "Mrs. Elma (sic) Lightfoot, 5919 W. Walton Avenue, Chicago, Illinois." -------------------------------------
e.	Note: NF89 Their marriage took place in Chicago but they lived in Moline, Illinois shortly afterwards before moving back to Chicago. Apparently after Harry died while living in Chicago, he was buried in Davenport Memorial Gardens near his brother, Lee. I'm not sure why he was buried there rather than in Chicago. Alma then left Chicago and lived near or with her married daughter, Phyllis, in Shreveport, Louisiana. When Alma died in 1975, she was buried alongside her husband, Harry in Davenport Memorial Gardens. ---------------------------------------- Name: Harry Lightfoot Age: 28 Birth Date: 1888 Spouse's Name: Alma L.
