Cynthia Bogdonoff Wheeler remembers that "Aunt Kittie" was very striking, and fought to have things her way.

1930 census says that she was first married at age 17 (c. 1913). But clearly she wasn't married to Wolf at this time (she's single in 1920 census, living with her family). That is when Harold was born... Question is: was she really ever married to Harold's father? And if so, who was he? Harold never went by any other name than Bogdonoff.
