Nancy, I believe the date of Mark Lott Sr. death is in error. However the only way we can prove it is to find a death notice, or a will. If I can ever get the time to run up to the courthouse in Douglas, maybe I could locate something, anything stating the approx. time of death. In the last month I haven't even had the pleasure of making it to the library.
