| 17627 | In the fall of 1941, Frances Irene Gaston Fontenot traveled to San Diego, California to join her husband who was assigned to the USS Blue Destroyer, based at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. It was long believed that both of them died when Pearl Harbor was attacked on Dec 7 1941, as they were never found or heard from after that. The obituary of her father, Eli Clark Gaston, in Nov 1941, identified her among his surviving children as "Mrs. Irene Fontnot [sic] of California." The obituary of her half-sister, Bess Mae Gaston Adams, in 1981, listed among her survivors "a half sister, Irene, address unknown." But more recently, a listing of all Pearl Harbor casualties revealed no one named Fontenot or anything similar. More significantly, a listing was found in the Social Security Death Index for Frances Fontenot, born Sep 15 1908, died March 1987, last residence at Mamou, Evangeline County (Parish), Louisiana, Social Security card issued in California in 1952. | GASTON, Frances Irene (I265)

| 17640 | In the spring of 1865, what was left of Squire's family packed up and started for Illinois (after losing 3 sons in the rebellion). The tedious journey was not performed without a mishap, however, for in an accidental breakdown of a light wagon, Grandmother Sayre sustained injuries from which she never recovered (she died 11 Sep 1865). The families finally landed in Jasper County. Illinois, where they bought farms and settled in the vicinity of Newton. Shortly afterwards the grandfather passed away, the space of three or four weeks only separating their death (Squire died 5 Oct 1865). They are buried near Newton in Vanderhoof Cemetery.

|
| 17641 | In the wake of her mother's death shortly after giving birth, Lenora Squires Gaston was raised from infancy by Morris Samuel Gaston and his wife Hattie I. Adams Gaston, and she therefore adopted the Gaston family name. Morris Samuel Gaston was a first cousin of baby Lenora's maternal grandmother, Mary Isabelle Gaston Adams, and a second cousin of her paternal grandmother, Elizabeth Laverna Gaston Squires. There is speculation that Hattie Adams was also a blood relative. The obituary of Morris Samuel Gaston identified as a surviving "foster daughter, Mrs. Cyril Scott of Oxford." Lenora took up residence in Weirton, WV. Her mother's obituary identifies her as Lenore [sic] Scott, her husband's obituary identifies her as Lenore [sic] Squires Gaston Scott, and the Social Security Death Index lists her name as Lenore [sic] Scott. | GASTON, Lenora Squires (I2902)
