Granddaughter's note:

2002 September 24: Re: "Aultman Clegg Atherton Sr.'s obit. He was my grandfather.  The obituary incorrectly lists one of his daughters as Mrs. Charles (Jane) Conrad. She was my mother and her correct name is Jessie E. (Atherton) Conrad who married Charles R. Conrad. A correction was not made at the time the obit was published in the newspaper." — Ann Conrad Abell
