NOTE: Middle-name variance: Find a Grave memorial #96253156 names him Stanley Victor Morrill; this tree records Stanley Vaughn Morrill. Identity is established by birth year 1871 + death year 1954 + burial in his birth and marriage town (Benton Harbor, Berrien Co., Michigan). The derivative memorial does not overturn the tree given name; variance recorded pending a primary record.

Lizzie Reeves

Died

21 OCT 1940^[3] at Lawrence Twp., Van Buren Co., Mich.

NOTE: The tree’s prior DEAT date (10 NOV 1940) carried no citation; the death certificate (primary, QUAY 3) gives 21 OCT 1940, and Find a Grave independently gives 24 Oct 1940 — both roughly three weeks earlier than the prior uncited value and taken to supersede it, with the certificate’s date preferred as the higher-quality source. Spouse Stanley Victor Morrill (Find a Grave) vs. the tree’s Stanley Vaughn Morrill @I03384@ — a middle-name spelling variance, not investigated further; all other anchors (birth date/place, marriage-era residence, exact death-era household) are decisive for the same person. Children Kenneth Charles Morrill (1912-1985) and Ruth Morrill Buege-Ervin (1916-2011) likely correspond to the tree’s @I04148@/@I04149@ — not merged here, a lead for a future descendancy-lane session.
