Appleton Queries
Lydia CUMMINGS for years had a William CLARK Family Bible which was given
to my father around 1954. I have run into a dead end trying to find the
parents of William CLARK. Mary Ann CLARK was not one of his children so she
could have possibly been a sister or a niece of William CLARK. I am
attempting to find out where Mary Ann CLARK HALL was born. Some of her
children were born on Matinicus but I don't know if she was from that
island. Would anyone have access to the death record of Mary Ann CLARK HALL
who died in Appleton in 1915. She is buried in the Pine Grove Cemetery.
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated and I would love to hear from
compare notes with anyone researching this family as I know we are related.

Marie G. SOIETT from Appleton, Me married Werner E. WENDLAND of Elmond, NY
on Friday October 17, 1952.
also
Marie G. FITZGERALD of Appleton, Me married Robert COLLINS of Appleton, Me
Saturday June 6, 1942.
It seems that Marie G. FITZGERALD must have been married to a SOIETT
sometime in the 10 years between the two marriages that I found.
I would like to know more about Marie G. FITZGERALD and am looking for
a marriage to a SOIETT and the first name of that SOIETT.
Thank you
