Talk:Edward J. Orton, Sr.

His middle name is not listed in New International Encyclopedia, so he probably did not have a middle name. The List of President of the American Association for the Advancement of Science calls him "Edward Francis Orton," which is probably an error. I am creating the page Edward Orton because I have no information on his middle name. At some point in the future someone must determine his true name. I am submitting information from the New International Encyclopedia, so make of it what you will. His son is listed as Edward Orton, Jr, with no middle name. Superslum 05:04, 16 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Edward J. Orton, Jr. is an article. I cannot verify the correctness of his name, either.  Again, New International Encyclopedia does not contain a middle name for either man.  Superslum 12:42, 16 May 2006 (UTC)


 * He is either Edward Orton, or Edward J. Orton, Sr., or Edward Francis Orton, so the first step is to identify his real name.  Superslum 22:01, 16 May 2006 (UTC)


 * well, at minimum, "Sr." needs to identify this Edward Orton from his son, Edward J. Orton, Jr. Stuph 16:04, 16 May 2006 (UTC)


 * The Ohio State University gives his name as Edward Francis Baxter Orton, Sr.. His son was Edward J. Orton -- what that stands for I don't know. older ≠ wiser 14:26, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
