Daniel Amasa Densmore married Katherine Pearl Smith after 1969; Comment by DGB: The timing of this marriage does not make sense. Katherine Smith was married to Oscar Foster at least between 1920 and 1930. She is then married to George Davis 1943-1969, but Daniel Densmore was already married to Elizabeth Shaffer 1967-1984. So, the two options seem to be some period between 1930 and 1943 or in 1984 after Daniel's divorce (unlikely). If between 1930 and 1943, it would seem strange for them to share a gravestone.
