He must have died before the 1920 census. Then you have the 1920 and 1930 census. Right now I am showing all those as different children: Luther - abt 1907 Ray - Sept. 1908 Cecile Mae - 28 Apr 1914 - md Richardson Sylvia - abt 1918 Cordia - abt 1922 Robert - abt 1924 Cecile Mae died 27 Sept 1994 in Alameda Co., California - from California Deaths. Not much but hope it helps a bit. Take care - Emma > Hi All, > Since things have been quiet for such a long time, maybe it's a good time > to ask some questions. > 1.
