  • Notes: 

  • Seymour Jairus Hyde's middle name is also seen as Jerius, Jarvis and Jarius, but it is spelled Jairus on his tombstone and in a 1917 issue of Musical Courier when his wife was referred to as "Mrs. Seymour Jairus Hyde" (75:13).

    Seymour's baptism record gives his birthdate as 05 SEP 1860, however, his tombstone and other publications give it as 15 SEP 1860.
