Life History

Notes

• In the 1900 census, the wife of James Israel is reported as Lulu E.  His wife in most genealogies is named Myrtle M.  There is a memorial on Find a Grave for Myrtle M Israel.  One genealogy has the name of James' wife as Lulu Myrtle Capps.
  
  The name Lulu matches the 1900 census in which she is Lulu E Isreal [sic].  Another genealogy clarifies the situation buy reporting full names and dates for two marriage of James.  His first wife was Lulu Capps, the second Myrtle Mae Ault.  The latter name matches the grave in Woodlawn Cemetery.  The Ridgeway -Israel genealogy, found only in July 2015, calrified the confusion.
