    Family Prince, Edward T.,   d. Yes, date unknown 
    Married (date?)  [1, 2

    •      According to records of the Parish of Caddo, Louisiana, connected with her marriage to Cecil F. Fiegenbaum in 1949, Will Mason Flanigan, former wife of J. Henry Flanigan, was the child of Ed. T. Prince and Lela Holden Prince, both residents of Lansing, Michigan, where Will had been born.
           However, an obituary published in 2001 in the Topeka Capital-Journal reported that Will's mother was Lelar B. Holden Prince and that Will was born in Henry County, Tennessee.
           The resolution of these discrepancies await further research.
