  • Notes: 

  • Although the transcription of James Humeston's death date in the West Springfield vital records give the month as January, the source of the transcription is his tombstone which clearly indicates June as the month. The exact date on the tombstone has chipped away and sources disagree as to whether it was the 10th or 12th day of the month.
