• Notes

  Nickname: French According to Dorothy Weiser Seale's Mat(t)hias Milestones, French and Ora initially resided in Webb City, Missouri but moved to Fairbury, Nebraska in 1897. French was employed as a locomotive fireman for the Rock Island Railroad Company and died due to diabetes. He was buried with masonic honors, being a member of Fairbury Masonic Lodge No. 85 A.F. & A.M. The lodge "...conducted the funeral ceremony. The engineers and firemen of the city attended the service in a body as a token of their esteem, and Resolutions were written by the Lodge which were sent to the family and to the city newspaper (p. 162-163)."
