7,8 He was buried in Mount Feake Cemetery, Waltham, Massachusetts.
9 In newspaper articles related to the abduction of
Dorothy Jean Bezanson, a man identified as
Edward Jesse Bezanson claims to be her father. In other records, such as the 1930 U.S. Federal Census and his naturalization papers, Edward claims to have no children. Meanwhile, Edward's brother Parker M. Bezanson had a daughter Dorothy who is the right age to be the girl in question. I strongly suspect that the articles refer to Parker's daughter Dorothy, but I do not know if Parker was consistently misidentified by news reporters, or perhaps the brothers had reasons that are lost to history that would explain why Edward was pretending to be Dorothy's father.
