The 1930 members of this family were Walter 42, Lulla 37, Buela 18, Cleo 15, Johnie 14, Jimmie 12, Paralee 11, Willie 8--and then no more. My suspicion would be that the enumerator left off the rest of the children--I have several cases of that. One issue is that Walter and Lulla cannot be found in the 1920 index, suggesting that this might be a second marriage for one or both, or possibly he is using a different first name.
