(Lillian May Stevens was born on 5 Dec 1917 in Waterville, Kennebec, Maine, United States, died on 19 Sep 1938 in Belfast, Waldo, Maine, United States and was buried in Pine Grove Cemetery, Waterville, Kennebec, Maine, United States.).

(Beatrice Lillian "Bea" Suitor was born on 7 May 1922 in Montville, Waldo, Maine, United States, died on 13 Apr 2016 in Waterville, Kennebec, Maine, United States and was buried on 19 Apr 2016 in East Knox Cemetery, Knox Center, Knox, Waldo, Maine, United States.)

  Marriage Notes:

Their marriage record says they were married 25 Oct 1939, but they were actually married 25 Nov 1939 in Springvale where Bug was working with his future father-in-law, Isaac Suitor. It's a strange record, because it is stamped for York county, but it was filled out by Fred Kenney, the Knox town clerk.
