    Birth:
    On the 1891 census, Susan's son, Samuel H. Trumpour, confirmed that his mother was born in the USA.

    Gravestone:
    Around 1978, Marjorie Flint, great-great-granddaughter, and Lorna (Flint) Laughton, great-great-great-granddaughter, arranged with Wellington Cemetery (Gary Lavender) to move the gravestones of Susan Holt and her husband Sylvanus Trumpour. The gravestones were fairly small and near the cross-cemetery road. It was possible that these stones would be knocked over or removed. Campbell Monuments of Belleville re-set the gravestones near the other Trumpour stones. The remains were not moved.

    Family history:
    The death registration of Samuel H. Trumpour records his parents as Sylvenus Trumpour and Susan Holt.
