Subject: Please help untangle the knot of the HARLANS and SCOTTS!!

Is there anyone on the list that is connected to, or knows of Walter S.
and Adah K. HARLAN who are buried in the Memorial Park Cemetery, Kansas
City, Missouri Walter died in 1958 and Adah in 1969. They are buried
next to Chester R.[1899 - 1983] and Helen N. SCOTT [1901 - 1977].

In 1910 Chester is found in Joplin, Missouri as a child with his parents,
Charles and Lizzie Scott. His obituary states the he lived in Joplin
before moving to Overland Park, Kansas. Walter and Adah Harlan are found
in Joplin in the 1900, 1920, and 1930 censuses.

Are Walter and Adah the parents of Helen? If not, then are they related
in anyway?

Faye Catherine KELLY, born around 1904 in Joplin, Missouri, was married
to a Mr. Harlan before marrying Chester R. Scott, after Helen died in
1977. Faye's obituary states that she had a daughter, Betty Reed, seven
grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. Faye is buried in another
part of the Memorial Park Cemetery. Did Faye marry a son of Walter and
Adah Harlan?

Any help with this puzzle will be appreciated and untie a knot for me.
