Theresa, I think you have the wrong middle name for Morrison. Lena married Frank St. Clair Aug. 9, 1927. They had 3 son's; Living Daly St. Clair; Franklin Doyle and Morrison Wayne. She was one of a set of triplets b. Apr 28, 1905. Her sisters were named Jackie and Tootie. Jackie d. May 16, 1905, and Tootie d. May 17, 1905. According to one of Lena's son's,............"these girls were buried as unnamed. Tootie & Jackie were names given to the two babies temporally. As far as I knew they never had other names. The names were picked from the ones they thought they looked like. Tootie for Clara (Toodle) Walker Asbury. Jackie for her Dad John M (Jack) St. Clair."

Thanks for catching that! I was confusing myself with all the middle names of Wayne, especially since neither of them went by their first names.
