The family returned to Allen County, OHIO after the death of Clara and the children were split up sent to different locations in and around Allen County. Jesse remarried a Neva Stevens in Lima . By 1920 most of the family was living in and aroound Toledo, OHIO. Appears that Neva and Jesse were split in 1920 as he is living with his son and Neva is up the street. In about 1932 the family relocated in Benton Harbor, MIchigan, all but Goldie who married Archibald FRAZER in Cleveland OHIO and relocated in Toronto, Ontario Canada around the same year (1932). Goldie and Archie had two children in Cleveland before relocating in Toronto, Margaret b.6 Apr 1925, and Archie Jr. b 12 June 1926. After in Toronto another daughter was born Sandra 29 Apr 1940. The family returned to Cleveland OHIO in 1954 with the exception of Archie Jr. who had a family and remained in Toronto Area.
