NOTES






3 -- Ted Williams's nephew, another Ted Williams, writes to explain that May Venzor's parents adopted an orphan named Maria, who appears in the 1910 Census. May left home at 14 or 15 to join the Salvation Army and was stationed in Hawaii in 1911, after training in Chicago, when she met Sam Williams in Oahu returning from his tour in the Philippines.
