Notes
- Genealogies give the name of this person as Almer. I notice that in the 1900 census, the name is Allma. The Almer could be a dialectic phonetic variation very common in the US, for the more standard Alma/Allma. But since it was pronounced that way, this may have been taken as the proper form by the family, and the census taker "corrected" it to the more common form.
More likley, the form Almer found in some genealogies is taken from the spelling in the 1910 census, which is a likely place for the local pronunciation to be recorded. Theform Alkmer is used on his memroial on Fidn a Grve, but his grave actually has only his middle name Burt.
