Kate’s Notes:  The Mr. and Mrs. S. B. Gilliland in the article are Samuel Baker Gilliland and wife Ada Chloe Dever Gilliland. The article states their three children in attendance were Clarence, Mildred and Marie, but the girls' names were actually Frances Mildred and Chloe(or Chloie) Marie. Frances Mildred married George Combs, also in attendance at the birthday celebration.

*I believe Frank's last name was actually Herrmann, not Herman. Abbie Gilliland Herrmann was a daughter of Samuel and Ada Gilliland.
