My husband's aunt married a Leon Thomas Hankins, in Muscatine Co., Apr. 8, 1934. He operated a hardware store in Muscatine for many years. He was also an antique car collector and exhibitor. A news article about him states that "his father and uncles taught him to work on cars, and one of his uncles studied to be a mechanic at the Ford school in Detroit...his family was mechanically inclined. His dad was the oldest of five brothers and they all liked to work on cars." His parents are : Chas. T. Hankins and Grace Carrier (not sure of her last name, it isn't too clear on the marriage certificate. One daughter of this marriage still lives in Muscatine.
