  Notes	She worked in the U.S. and St. John, New Brunswick prior to settling in Stanwood, Washington. Everett Herald, Monday, January 10, 1983: "Grace M. Schopf, 89, died Jan. 7, 1983. She was born April 7, 1893, in Chelsea, Mass. She had lived in Everett since 1930 and was a member of Calvary Baptist Church for many years. She leaves her son and his wife, John and Isabelle Schopf of Everett; four grandchildren, Daniel, Stephen, Phillip and John Schopf Jr.; six great-grandchildren; two sisters-in-law, Emma Poole of Portland* and Ida Poole of Seattle; cousin, Grace Adam of Canada. Services will be Friday, 2pm Solie Chapel, with Pastor Oscar Hegg officiating. Burial will follow at Evergreen Cemetery. Flowers are welcome, but for those wishing memorials may be made to Brazilla church Building Fund, care of Calvary First Baptist Church, 3332 Colby, Everett."

I requested a copy of her Form SS-5 and it was issued in the name of Emma Georgiana Fort of 6095 W. Hall Street, Portland, Oregan. She was 39 years old at the date of the application, having been born on October 12, 1902 in LaMoure, North Dakota. Her parents were John Alfred Fort and Lewella Elizabeth Watts. She was not employed at the time she completed the application, on May 19, 1942. She must have later married a Poole, but currently there is not enough information to determine if she married one of Grace's brothers, or if there were several Emma Poole's in Portland. Her age seems appropriate to have been married to one of Grace's brothers. Perhaps obtaining a copy of her obituary would help resolve this one way or another.
