My wife's father was 30 years older than her mother. He had a previous marriage according to legend. I found him, James Marion Allen, in the 1920 census in Wichita County as a Deputy Sheriff. He had a wife, Mabel E. and a nephew Joseph who was only 9 months old. He married my mother in law in 1930 in Enid, Ok. Her maiden name was Ruth L. Disosway. Graduated from Whichita Falls high school in 1927. We were told his first family died from a diptheria epidemic in the 20's. This is all that I know. Thank you Pat Carroll
