The god-parents may have provided you a clue. But there is a possibility that the 1920 Davenport (Scott co) James McDevitt and the 1920 Wm. J. McDevitt (wife Margarite)in 1920 Center twp, Clinton co. are brothers. Both are about the same age and enumerated as born Pa. Might try following them back on the census to find a connection. Might try looking for William's obit in the Clinton newspapers. (Root Cellar at the Clinton library.) The Frances Banta Waggoner library in De Witt also has old films of the De Witt Observer but I think the year 1923 is missing. (verify that with them) But they do have the Charlotte Record from 1904-1924. Good luck in your quest. Dick
