Notes

  • She always went by Ethel.  The maiden name on her gravestone is spelled Seamon instead of Seamons.  The name is given in the funeral remembrance of Lillian Dumond Butler as Ethel Seamon Dumond.  Bertie Dumond McSwain wrote the name Seamons.  The spelling Seemans in the 1910 census is another way to represent the original sounds of the German name spelled in German as Siemens.

    In 1900 Ethel is recorded in the census as a member of the household of her mother Jennie Miller Seamons Simmons and her stepfather Pleasant Simmons.

    In 1910, her mother and stepfather are divorced and Jennie and her children are living with her widowed grandfather, John W Miller (also originally a German name, spelled Mueller).

    In 1920 and 1930 Ethel appears in her own household as the wife of Ira Dumond.  Ira is her second husband, after the death of Ernest Maddox.  Her daughter Alma Mae Maddox is reported in this household.
