Deanna, Was Violet married before or after 1920? I could check that 1920 census out if you believe she would be in Gurley's household. If she was married in 1920, what was her husband's full name? Might find Violet & Gurley in the same city. I'm at work right now, but believe you send Violet's birthdate with a couple of possible years. I tried searching both date in the Ancestry.Com pre-1907 WI birth index and came up blank. Nothing just using Violet Eastman either.
