 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * I wikified the citation the first time around, but I was unable to access the source cited. It's apparently the journal of the local history society, only available directly from the society.  It's also apparently the only source in existence that documents this person coherently.  I found several records mentioning this person, but lacking a secondary source by a historian piecing those records together, apart from (I presume.) the local history society article, I was unable to make anything coherent out of them in order to support this.  I have little doubt that the source cited exists, but it's the only source in existence it seems; I don't know what it says, or who wrote it, or what xyr credentials were; and I have no idea what, if any, of this article it supports.

 * Delete There are several sources that show he existed, but that is all they show, which falls well short of the guidelines on notability. Edward321 (talk) 00:29, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
