Henry Schott is remembered as a farmer who was a good, kind man. He had a warm smile under his moustache. His granddaughter, Ann Schott Steffy was only four when Henry died, but she recalls feeling safe and happy sitting on his lap in a rocking chair at Aunt Annie Boswell's home in Marietta. Ann remembers how hot it was at Henry's funeral, in a church with paper fans like she had never seen before.
Ethel Kenny died of pneumonia two days after giving birth to her son, George.

Mary was a sweet, simple girl who was a devout Catholic. Her step-mother Willie Mae disapproved when Mary entered the convent. Williie Mae contacted the order and spread falsehoods about Mary that caused the convent to discharge her. One can imagine that Mary must have been devastated. She kept the cross she received as a noviate, which was passed on to her niece, Ann Schott Steffy. Mary later became a cook-housekeeper for the priests at St. John's and Blessed Sacrament in Newark. She never married. She died at St. Mary's Nursing Home in Columbus Ohio. Her remains were cremated.
