Notes for ELIAS DAMM:
The family has changed the spelling of the name over the years. Some took the "Damm" spelling; some took the "Daum" spelling; and some may have kept the "Dahm" spelling. I have verbal family reports that Elias's generation began using "Daum" around 1900. My grandfather's official records reflect "Daum", but he preferred the "Damm" spelling. Apparently they held a family meeting and took a vote regarding the spelling of the name. Obviously, Elias kept the "Damm" spelling. [Loftis.FTW]
