Homer Monroe Dunham ^{1 2 3}

  General Notes:

Homer was previously married sometime around 1916 to a wife named Irma. It is believed that he had a daughter and son from that earlier marriage that continued to live with him and Ella Sabin and they are shown on the 1930 US Census. Irma apparently died in 1922 and is buried in the same Dunham family plot along with Homer and Ella Sabin.
