NOTE: Regarding Cecily Shotwell/Pond -- no Ohio birth record found, no marriage of a Shotwell to a Pond found. Cannot ascertain who this person is or why she was listed as a daughter in David Lee Shotwell's obituary.

Charles William "Chuck" and Margaret (Roward) Pond were married in Cincinnati on 16 MAY 1970 and lived in Cincinnati for some years thereafter, before relocating to Los Angeles and later to Indian Rocks Beach, Florida in 1998. They had a daughter, Cecily Ann Pond, born 18 MAY 1976 in Ohio, probably in Cincinnati, per the Ohio Birth Index, 1908-2003 (Ancestry.com). She had a son, Noah A. Logan, and later married a Culbreth and lived at Largo, Florida. No known reason why she would have been listed in David Shotwell's obituary. DLB 2025.
