From the Westfall Country book. Birth place and middle name from Gram's notes. I wonder if Gerald was married before. On the 1930 Census it looks like he was married at 23 but at the time the Census was taken he was 25 and living with his mother and it looked like he was listed as divorced.

(Medical):Colon Cancer per Ellen Blanche King Thibadeau

    They are living at 140 Sussex Street.
    I find it interesing that only Agnes and Jerold seem to have a father born in Missouri. Ora should have been the father of Arden, Gladys, Agnes & Gerald. Archie was a Newby and his father WAS born in England.
