      Three children are listed: George 8, Patricia 4 2/12, and Yvonne 3 2/12. He was first married at age 29.

      «Because the 1930 census record states that his mother was born in Germany I am confident that this record points to this Lee T Fecteau -- also that he is now a clothing merchant, like his brother»

      According to the 1940 census, Lee Feeteau (sic), age 50, and his wife Loretta, age 42, were renting ($50) at 1914 Calvert in Detroit, Wayne, Michigan. Four children were listed: George 18, Patricia 14, Yvonne 13, and Major Lee 12.
