| Tiffany/Duncan comment: |
Tiffany 1897 and Tiffany 1910 just list Vinton Memorial Windows, and possibly this means that a Vinton, quite possibly Eleanor Vinton, was the person who organised all the windows with the Tiffany company, or, alternatively, the donors were all just viewed as members of the Vinton family [TIFF1897, TIFF1910, DUNC1980, DEDUCED] |
