306 Thomas Martin Harris and Mary Oliver Lemaster (Alley) Family Group

This part of the Appendix relates to Mary Oliver Harris, who married Edward S. Lee on 25 Jun 1903:

This entry for Edward S. Lee (coincidentally) appears immediately below the entry for our ancestor Louis Kuehnle, Sr. in this Daily union history.

According to his entry in the Political Graveyard, Edward Lee was a member of the New Jersey State senate  from Atlantic County, 1902-07.

While Senator, he was appointed the head of a commission to discover the circumstances surrounding a tragic train accident which killed over 50 people in Atlantic City. Senator Lee is listed in several newspaper articles at Genealogybank.com from the time of his public service.

We know from the passport applications below that Senator Lee died sometime before June of 1924 when Mary and their son Robert each filled out a passport application in preparation for a trip abroad.
