From the California Death Index I found the following information. Then I
went to the 1930 census to locate the family. After that I backed up thru the
1910 census to get them all. After I found out the married names of the
daughters, I checked the Calif. Birth Index to see if they had any children under
that married name. The result of all this is below.
