Or my generation has no idea. He seemed to have disappeared right after Gerald's birth. What I can tell you is this: That Evelyn (the wife) was born in 1914 and had her first son, James, at the age of 18 in 1932. The census of 1940 shows that she was head of the household. If you can shed any light on this it would be much appreciated. Colin Lamphier Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
