| Tiffany/Duncan comment: |
Tiffany 1910 calls this the Haines Memorial Window, so likely Sarah Elizabeth Sturgis Haynes, daughter of Mrs. Sturgis, was the person who organised the window with the Tiffany company [TIFF1910, DUNC1980, WEB, DEDUCED] |
|
Duncan 1980 lists the window twice, once under Haines Memorial and once under Sturgis Memorial [DUNC1980] |
