> So, by process of elimination, the brother in Quincy must have been William Lovell. However, I didn't find him in the 1920, 1930 or 1940 Census, or the US death Records or the Mass Death Index (1970 - 2003). I have "Googled" for an obit, but nothing so far. So I present it as follows with the hope it helps someone.
