Lorris Emory Orr ^{1 2 3 4}

  General Notes:

The 1900 US Census shows the name as "Laura" with the gender of a female. There are no birth records for a daughter named Laura but Lorris' given name was spelled in several different varieties so it is possible that the enumerator heard and wrote down Laura instead of Lorris. His birth date is believed to be 6 Aug 1883 while this census enumeration gives the date as July 1883.
