• Notes

  Since Robert and Martha were married in 1920 and divorced in 1931, it would appear that some of the children may belong to Martha. However, we know that son Arden (who was premature) b. 1939 belongs to Mary Josephine and that, since Lawrence is b. 1938, Mary Josephine is his mother as well, just as the obit states. And we also know that Lawrence' obit lists all of the remaining children as full siblings. Thus all of Robert's children are listed here as belonging to Mary Josephine for want of any firm evidence to the contrary.
