Background Information[]

• Although the text pop-up when looking at the Degenhardt family headstones says the family died in 1926, the actual graphics for the headstones (seen more clearly during a later cutscene) indicate that the family died in 1956. We have chosen 1926 as the "real" date" due to the additional text indicating that the 1926 date would make Warden Degenhardt over 100 years old.
• Given the above preference for the text rather than the graphics, we have picked "Celeste Marie" as the Warden's daughter's "official" name over Constance, as seen on the headstone.
