Notes for Lillian Conn
I cannot find her in the 1910 census. The most likely parents are Jesse W. Conn & Mary Elizabeth Stephens, whom I also cannot find in the 1910 census, and who were living very near the Willie Hamilton family in the 1920 census. Also, Willie Hamilton was the informant on Jesse W. Conn’s death certificate.
