  • Notes 
    • Because his own signature on his WWII DRC is spelled with a single 'l' - Trolinger versus Trollinger - it appears he decided to use that spelling even though the Trollinger spelling was the norm in his branch of the family.

      Despite his death notice that states Mary Ellen is his daughter, she is actually the daughter of his wife, Marion and her former husband, Laurins Angier Herrick.
