• Notes

  The newspaper obituary shown on his Find a Grave page calls him COSTON, John M, and the page itself calls him John Mitchell Coston, Jr., but his WWI draft card and other records clearly call him John Francis Coston. According to a note written on the back of a group photo of the Coston siblings, he died of (presumably the complications of) epilepsy.
