Notes

According to his obituary, he was found on a church step and later adopted, by his adoptive parents. However, I am told that these original adoptive parents were not Ernest Herbert and Nella M. Richardson, and that the money he inherited was inherited from these original adoptive parents who later died leaving him an orphan again before he was adopted by Ernest Herbert and Nella M. Richardson. The original adoptive father is said to be a Nathan Rounds, so that the adoptive child would actually be a Nathan Rounds, Jr., however, I have no sources for this information. It needs to be confirmed. In the end, though, it appears that 3 sets of parents need to be accounted for. TBD
