Hi JoAnn -
I have "inherited" some info of unknown source which includes some Gootees.
This info differs somewhat from that which you gave, and perhaps I need to correct mine if
you have better documentation. My paperwork lists Lewis T. Gootee as the spouse of Mary
Ann Ryan, daughter of Patrick and Bridget (Fitzpatrick) Ryan. Marriage date for Lewis
and Mary Ann is given as October 2, 1906. Birth dates for five children are between 1907
and 1918. Children are Lewis T., Jr., Anna Marie, Ambrose, Joseph Carl, and Paul.
I have more info which includes a Charles Gootee who married Cecilia M. Smith,
daughter of William A. Smith and Ann(a) (Cunningham?) Smith. There are listed seven
children of Charles and Cecilia: James, Zelma, Ann Marie, Frank, Elizabeth, Ernestine,
and Mary C.
Cecilia's sister Julia Smith married Alfred Gootee. I suspect (don't know)
that he was a brother to Charles.
Regarding burial locations for your relatives -- you might try St. Peter's Cemetary
in Montgomery or St. John's in Loogootee.
