Notes:

Although I knew her as Sophie May Towne Guy, her gravestone and the Massachusetts death record both list her as Sophia May Towne Guy.

Birth:
On Sophie May Towne Guy's gravestone in the Mt. Hope Cemetery in Belchertown, MA, her name reads Sophia May Guy. I believe that this name change must have been an error when her stone was carved since I always knew it as Sophie and that is how her name shows up on her daughter, Muriel's birth certificate.
