NOTES
1). bobspu.ged BIO August, 1997, compiler made contact with George L. BARRON, a genealogical researcher in Jamestown, ND, who has provided a great deal of data concerning the family of Isaac Lacy and Alcie E. PHELPS O DELL. Among the documents which Mr. BARRON photocopied for this family, was the marriage certificate of Roy TORREY and Katherine O DELL. Per this document Roy was residing in Eldridge Stutsman Co. ND at the time he applied for license to marry 13 Dec. 1910. Roy gave his age as 21 as of 15 March 1910 his bride to be was reported as 22 years of age. The marriage was solemnized in Jamestown, ND Stutsman Co. on the 15th day of December, 1910. Ellen BERQUIST and Clarence ANDERSON stood as witnesses for the couple. The officiating minister was J.G.MORRISON, Pastor M.E. Church. Catherine O DELL TORREY died in 1914 Roy L. TORREY s burial is listed in CEMETERIES OF NORTH DAKOTA, with the date of death given only as 1967. Roy was probably of the Catholic Faith, since the notation at the bottomof page 67 from the cemetery index reads, For Records of the Jamestown Protestant Cemetery write to... Calvary was, evidently a Catholic Cemetery. REF 1. Marriage Certificate Roy TORREY to Katherine O DELL , Stutsman County, ND. Photocopy owned by compiler. 2.

2). bobspu.ged BIO Compiler first found this daughter of the O DELLs on the 1900 census in Montgomery County, IN. Here she was listed as Alassy C. , her date of birth was given as Apr. 1888. When George L. BARRON, Genealogical Researcher from Stutsman County, ND sent a large amount of documentation from that county on this family, this child s name appeared as Katherine O DELL in most sources, but in the article about her father in the NORTH DAKOTA History, she was listed as Catherine B. The marriage record photocopied for compiler shows the bride as Katherine , her age as 22 as of Dec. 13, 1910. The ND History makes the statement that Catherine B. ...became the wife of Roy TORY and died at Lakota, North Dakota, in 1915... The records of graduates from Stutsman County Schools, 1885 1925, lists Katherine O DELL, graduate, in 1908 from the 12th grade, Jamestown High School. Photocopies of two pages from the Stutsman County Cemetery Supplement for Highland Home Cemetery cause the most confusion. The firstlists, TORREY, Mary Katherine Apr 8, 1889 Jan 31, 1924 . This is the first indication of the Mary part of this individual s name. Also, the months and days of both the birth and the death dates are the same as Catherine O DELL s , but the years were not. Compiler sent a request for the year of death to be rechecked and for consideration to be given that these cemetery listings are for the same individual. 22 August 1997, a response from Mr. BARRON in Jamestown, ND, was received with the information that these entries had indeed been misprinted and duplicated for the same person. Upon visiting the grave site of Katherine TORREY, Mr. further confirmed Katherine s year of death as 1914. He made note of the printed error so that they may be corrected in the index. There has been no documentation to support the theory that Irwin TORREY, who served as pallbearer at Isaac L. O DELL s funeral in 1940, was the son of Katherine and Roy TORREY. This was simply surmised by compiler, and was not confirmed. A letter in Nov. 1997, from Lyla VAUGHT MILKE, daughter of Ida Belle O DELL VAUGHT, sister to Kate O DELL TORREY, stated that Kate had only one child with Roy TORREY Pearl TORREY, who later married Orvil LUSK. Torreys lived on a farm outside of Eldridge, ND...Roy TORREY remarried. Don t know how many but know of 4 kids Pearl lives in Eugene, OR. Irwin may be stepbrother to Pearl ... Katherine apparently spent some time in CALIFORNIA prior to her marriage. The obituary for her sister,Flora Alabama, in 1909 states that Miss Katherine O DELL, had left Riverside, California to attend the funeral but was unable to reach her home in time. Another item from the Jamestown weekly paper states that, Two sisters residing at Riverside, Cal.,failed to arrive in time to attend. Flora A. s funeral . REF 1. U.S. Census 1900 IN Montgomery Co.
