    Notes 
    • The name of this son is very difficult to read on the microfilm for the census. It appears to be a 4 or 5 letter name, starting with F or T or L. It could be Louis or Fay. (There is a name below it, where the upper curve of the capital scripted L is positioned directly below the last letter of this boy's name, which makes the last letter look like a "y" - but I believe the last letter is not a "y")

      The name of Fay is clearly stated in the 1930 census when he was 12 years old.

      obituary:
