Note: This Findagrave entry may be the wrong Hial for the father for Almira E  Smith nee Morse, but everything else goes with her.  This spouse does not go with our Almira, but the family checks out otherwise, so that it seems more likely the Whitehill spouse is wrong. Perhaps there is a second Myra, or Almira in the same family?
