Notes

Howell Joshua Magruder changed his last name to MacGruder sometime before his marriage in 1922. He felt that this form of the name would be closer to the original Scottish form. He enlisted in the United States Naval Reserve Forces on 1 August 1918, and was called to active duty on 7 August 1918. His address at the time of his enlistment was 1248 Warder Street, Springfield, Ohio. He was at the Great Lakes Naval Training Station in Illinois from 17 August 1918 to 11 September 1918. He was then sent to the Naval Operating Base in Norfolk, Virginia, until 14 September 1918. He served on the U.S.S. Massachusetts until 11 November 1918. His rank was Fireman 3rd Class. He also served on the U.S.S. Harrisburg. He was released from active duty on 26 September 1919, and received his honorable discharge on 30 September 1921. He was an electrician by trade. Emma (Mayme) Kohn went to work at an early age, first in a laundry and later in a factory. She later played the piano at a silent movie house while her brother Clyde sang. The Howell MacGruder family was one of the first families in Dayton to own a television set. At the time of the 1930 census, the family was living at 35 Quentin Avenue, Dayton, Ohio. After the death of Howell MacGruder, Emma Kohn MacGruder went to work as a switchboard operator at Dayton's Central YMCA, retiring in 1965. The cemetery where he and his wife are buried, Glen Haven Memorial Gardens, is near Donnellsville, Clark County, Ohio.
