Mary E. James died April 20, 1943 at the age of about 77 in Jay County, Indiana.  She was married to John L. Claycomb, son of George F. Claycomb and Hannah Holmes Gaunt, who is my 3rd cousin 3x removed via the Gaunts.

Morris Ferguson Sellers, son of Samuel G. Sellers and Anna C. Ferguson, died April 20, 1946 at the age of about 75, probably in Pennsylvania.  He is my 4th cousin 3x removed and is the brother of Washington Ferguson Sellers (above), so he died on his sister-in-law's birthday.

John Edward Lawrence, son of John Edward Lawrence and Wilhelmina Atkinson, died April 20, 1963 at the age of 34, possibly in New Jersey.  He is the 1st cousin 2x removed of my 1st cousin Albert Lore on his Eckman line through the Lawrences.  He is also the 1st cousin once removed of George Russell Sellers, mentioned above in the births, and therefore died on his cousin's wife's birthday.

Sarah Meckler, daughter of Moishe Meckler and Mushe Zelda Nowicki, died April 20, 1980 at the age of about 79, possibly in Far Rockaway, Queens County, New York.  She is my grandaunt.
