Notes - -----
Norvin Clontz observes, "It has been said that MATILDA CLARK CLONTZ was blind.
The census data does not indicate that she was blind; however, she could have
become blind in later years. Cataracts on the eye were common during those
years."
-----
Writes Thelma Penley, "Matilda Clark Clontz known as 'Blind Granny', she came
to live with daughter, Etta, after (Etter) married 'Boe' Clontz."
