Notes

  • Death certificate of Gola lists surname of Gaines, but there is a marriage record for William E. and Laura Caldwell in Delta, Texas, from the correct time period. Also found another forum that says Caldwell and that William's parents are Alfred and Nancy that are on the next page in the 1900 census, so I think it is probable that this is the correct entry.
