She maried Waldo Malone and lived at Clifton Hill where she taught and he was a rural mail carrier. I don't believe they had any children. I don't suppose there could have been two Waldo Malones who married someone named Loreta? My grandfather's notes (below) indicate that his cousin Loreta Lessly married Waldo Malone. The date of the marriage that I have is 23 Dec 1934 in Howard County. Notes of Stiles Lessly written circa 1970 Oreon Lessly grew up on the farm and soon after they (the Lessly family) moved to Higbee, he was employed for a time as telegraph operator at the Katy depot, then he had a job in the Wabash railroad shops in Moberly. He was married to Cassie Blansett of Higbee. They had two daughters Livonia, who died as a small child, and Loreta who is married to Waldo Malone and living at Clifton Hill, MO. Carole Brace
