• Notes

  Music Teacher & Singer Member (Tenor) of the "Lotus Male Quartette" - A quite popular vocal group. They toured Europe. Oct 12, 1916 newspaper article about a performance of the quartet is at this link: http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=LP4gAAAAIBAJ&sjid=snUFAAAAIBAJ&pg=4716%2C4483088 Appears to be the newspaper "The Day" from New London, Connecticut. Husband of Laura Evans. They assisted the Foster's -- Annie and the children (Evans, Lorraine, and Laura) financially after husband/father (Linnell) left home. I (James Irving) remember visiting Uncle Will at his home a few times with Mom and Phil. He had a large single family home (in either Cambridge or Somerville) with a elephants foot in the front hall used for umbrellas and there were two fencing foils that Phil and I would play with.
