OMANS, Thos.G.
Date of death: 2-Sep-1881 Ledger Page: 414 Record Number: 249 Place of death: Brandon County of Death: Oakland Sex: Male Race: White Marital Status: Divorced Age: 88 years 4 months Cause of Death: Dysentery Birthplace: Mass. Occupation: Miller Father's Name: Omans, Jonathan Father's Residence: Mass. Mother's Name: Omans, Prudence Mother's Residence: Not Recorded Date of record: 30-May-1882

The birth and death dates match what I have. However, the birth place information is inconsistent, as well as the mother's name. Most disturbing is his marital status is listed as divorced. He was a widow at the time of his death, according to my records.
