Kathlyn?or Katherine? age 8 born WA If you have ancestry.com subscription check the 1920 Jay DECHER WA and 1930 Jay DACKOL WAl listings in the census, if not otherwise I can transcribe the info. You may doublecheck by asking for city directory searches Seattle for Jay Decker I did not find Jay Decker on Wa death index-he may have died before the index begins in 1940-if you have access to WA. death indices 1907-1939 you might check that as well, I can check sometime in the next week they are available to me locally
