Jinks: I think the middle initial is N or even Ne but not M. compare it to the Mary about 6 lines up. This guy started his M letters low (for the most part) The character here is started high. I see the 5 years I see what you mean about marital status. It seems like was M and then overwritten with S and came out, on quick glance as Wd. If he was single, it would given credence to a divorce. There is an Eunice Pate age 24 in Leavenworth, a single nurse at Evergreen Hospital, Delaware Twsp. She MAY be the Eunice Willoughby Pate I'm trying to find. I found the 1910 Sheridan Co WY enumeration after I had sent the message. George Newton Pate had at least two brothers- William Henry Pate who shows up in Weston Co WY in 1900 John Leonard Pate in the 1910 Sheridan WY (twice) not to far from his parents. The lock is the birth place of his mother. Where was George Newton Pate in 1920?
