The Monticello town office is very small and only has a couple of people who work there which may be why you are still waiting for a response.

I didn't find a death record for Abel Smith, but I did find Flan McAdam was buried in Johnville New Brunswick, Canada next to his sister and brother-in-law.  It only has the years on the stone, no dates.

I do have quite a large tree which includes the Folsom and Stockford families.  My Folsom branch goes back 7 generations from Mae (John Folsom 1641-1715).  My Stockford branch only goes back 3 generations from Mae (John Stockford (1812-1888).

Not sure if you have all of Mae's siblings so here is some vitals for them:

Columbus George   14 Apr 1895-7 Nov 1936
Lonah               21 Sep 1896-29 Mar 1972  (my g-grandmother;spent lots of time with as a kid)
Earl L               1897-4 Dec 1960
Byron Clifford       8 Jan 1898-8 Nov 1918
Ruby Bean               23 Mar 1900-12 Apr 1990
Theressa Fern       1 Jan 1902-5 Jan 1993
Charles W Jr       9 Aug 1903-21 May 1976
Mae Arilla               12 Jun 1906-16 Apr 1942
Theodosia Ida       23 Sep 1908-21 Mar 2001
Thomas Gary       7 Jun 1910-5 Mar 1994
Carroll Raymond       5 Aug 1912-3 Feb 1970
Dyrell Ronald       24 Mar 1914-5 Feb 1995
Paul E Sr               31 May 1916-11 Apr 2004
Allenby Clifford       3 Mar 1918-8 Jun 1984
Nathanial G       16 Aug 1920-3 Nov 1986
Baby Girl "Rose"       6 Jul 1922-1922


Luckily my mother knew most of them or knew of them since they were her great aunts and uncles.  My mother was very close with her grandmother Lonah and lived next door to her growing up.  So I was able to ask her about them when i would come across something that didn't look just right like names.

Hope this info helps you.

I know it has been a while since you posted, but thought I would provide some additional information.

Mae Arilla Folsom was my great-grandmother's sister (they had a huge family - 16 kids).  The records that I have found indicate that Mae married Clarence "Flan" McAdam on 2 NOV 1925 in Woodstock, Canada.  That is why Maine Vital Statistics can't provide the marriage document.  Here is a link to the Provincial Archives of New Brunswick Canada showing the marriage between Mae (May) and Flan (Clarence).

It was quite common for people in the Houlton and Monticello Maine areas to cross the border to marry in Woodstock.

It appears that Basil was born before Mae's marriage to Flan, so it is very possible that his father is someone else.  I was not able to find a birth record for Basil because the Maine online birth records only go up to 1922 and he was born in 1924.  Perhaps you could try contacting the Monticello Town Office for any birth records showing Mae Folsom as the mother??

Would love to know if you make any headway...
