Every source, starting with the Lansing State Journal and including the New York Times & Monty Ellsworth's Bath School Disaster book gives her name as Amelia; this is the name by which she was referred to by her family & friends. However, the church which her parents attended and where she had her funeral list her name as "Emilie Marian" in the records of the funeral, as did the county clerk's register of death certificates. We have chosen to use the clerk's recorded name and the recorded church name as the most authoratative written source for her full name. It has been subsequently confirmed from family sources that they continued to refer to her as "Amelia" after her death.

Additionally, multiple different spellings of the family surname have appeared in various contemporary print sources & on the internet ("Bromundt", "Bromund" and "Dromund" having been the most common). The Township's cemetery burial records have the name listed as "Bromand," while the Clinton County clerk's office had recorded the death certificate for she and her brother under the "Bromont" name. The spelling used in this website is taken from the funeral records of the family's church (Emanuel Lutheran Church in Lansing). The records show that even the church initially used the "Bromund" spelling, only later adding a "t" to each child's name. The family dropped the trailing "t" and began using the "Bromund" spelling at some point in the late 1920's, following the bombing.
