Father*Edward L. Carleton1,3 b. 18 Jan 1880, d. 25 Jan 1925
Mother*Edith W. Bretsch1,2 b. 18 Jun 1891, d. 6 Jan 1959
Birth*26 May 1910Viola A. Carleton was born on 26 May 1910 in Casselton, Cass County, North Dakota.1 
Name VariationShe was called Vi.1 
(Granddaughter) DeathJune 1913Her maternal grandfather, August G. Bretsch, and her uncle, Emil G. Bretsch, both drowned in the Yellowstone River near Wibaux, Wibaux County, Montana, in June 1913. Her grandfather was 52 years of age and her mother's brother was age 17. Emil's body was found on a gravel bar at Sidney in Richland County and was identified by his clothes. Her grandfather's body was never found.4,5 
(Granddaughter) Accident20 June 1913A newspaper article in the Dawson County Review, Glendive, Montana, published on 20 June 1913 under the title, "Wibaux Men Reported Drowned at Intake", stated that a report had come from the nearby community of Intake that Emil and his father, August G. Bretsch, cement contractors of Wibaux, in Wibaux County, entered a small skiff near that place the previous Sunday with the intention of crossing the Yellowstone River. Five days later, the newspaper was reporting that nothing has been seen of them since and it was feared they had become victims of the swirling currents of the treacherous stream, which was then at quite a high stage. Bretsch and his son were quite well known in Glendive.

A week later, on 27 June 1913, the same newspaper, under the heading, "Intake News", reported that the boat in which Mr. Bretsch and his son tried to cross the river about ten days before, was said to have been found at Burns, in the county of Richland. The story noted that the previous year, that same boat, owned by G. R. Cummins, was locked up on the opposite side of the river, and that a man broke the lock and in is attempt to cross the river to Intake was carried over the dam and drowned. The Bretsch homestead was about ten miles from Intake, and the son, Eric, who was but eighteen years old, didn't want to cross the river in a boat and begged his father to go around to Wibaux via Glendive on the train, and from there walk across the country about twenty-five miles to their homestead. His father thought that seventy-five miles around was too much traveling to get to their home, which was but ten miles from Intake, and decided to make the attempt, which ended in the loss of both their lives. Mrs. Bretsch was reported to be frantic over the misfortune that had befallen her, and the newspaper expressed its hope the county would put in a bridge at that point where it was so much needed.6,7 
(Daughter) Census US 192016 January 1920Viola was enumerated on the 1920 census taken on 16 January 1920 in the household of her parents in New Rockford, Eddy County, North Dakota. She was 9 years old, able to read, write and to speak English, and had attended school within the census year.8 
(Daughter) Death25 January 1925She was 14 years old when her father died on 25 January 1925 at age 45, leaving Viola's mother with four young children between the ages of 6 and 14 years.3

Sarah Carman1

b. 1841, d. 6 May 1873
Family
Father*William A. Carman1 b. 20 Jun 1804, d. Jul 1881
Mother*Beulah Branson1 b. 1814, d. 31 Jan 1856
Birth*1841Sarah Carman was born about 1841 in Indiana.1,2 
Name VariationOn her marriage document, her name was recorded as Sarah D. Carman. Early in our research of the William A. Carman family, we puzzled that two children, with the given name Sarah, were enumerated in their father's household on the 1860 census. The first Sarah was born about 1841 and the second Sarah, who was enumerated as Sarah D., was born about 1856. Our primary target of research, at that time, was the Charles Hale who would marry Sarah D. Carman in 1856. Charles, at their marriage, was about 23 years of age, so next we wondered whether Charles married the "older" Sarah, who was about 5 years his senior, or the younger, 13-year-old, Sarah, who was about 10 years his junior. When we finally found the newlyweds on the 1870 census, we had our answer. On that census, Sarah was four years older than her husband, Charles. We still didn't know, though, why the elder Sarah used the middle initial of her younger sister when she married. Of course, the elder Sarah's middle initial may also have been D, which let us to the really the big issue: why did William A. Carman have two daughters named Sarah on the 1860 census? It was a conundrum.3,4,5,6 
(Daughter) Death31 January 1856She was likely about 15 years old when her mother died at about age 42 either during, or shortly after, giving birth to Sarah's brother, Nathan, on 31 January 1856.7,8 
(Daughter) Marriage23 November 1856Her father married a second time, on 23 November 1856, to Sarah Ann Jones.9,10 
(Elder Daughter) Research Notes Even after resolving our dilemma of which Sarah Carman, Sarah D. Carman the elder, or Sarah D. Carman the younger, would marry Charles A. Hale in 1869, we were still questioning why William Allen Carman (1806-1881) would have two daughters with the same name. In our pursuit of the answer, we met David Carman, a living researcher and direct descendant of William A. Carman, through his son, Nathan Branson Carman (b. 1856). David has preserved the records kept by his Carman family and shared with us the important information we needed. As a short summary of what we learned from David, the second Sarah, Sarah D. Carman, was not William's daughter at all, but his niece, the daughter of William's deceased brother, John C. Carman, and Martha (Condit) Carman, his widow, who became William's third wife in 1858.

We are very grateful to David Carman for both having the records we needed to answer our questions about his ancestors, and also for his willingness to share his knowledge. Some additional information we learned from David is also included, with gratitude, in our project.11 
(Daughter) Marriage8 September 1858Her father married a third time, on 8 September 1858, to Martha (Condit) Carman, who was Sarah's aunt, the widow of her father's brother, John C. Carman. Martha's two young children, Sarah's 1st cousins, with her father's marriage, became her siblings.12,11 
(Daughter) Census US 186018 June 1860Sarah was enumerated on the 1860 census taken on 18 June 1860 in the household of her father and stepmother, who was also her aunt, in Brownstown, Jackson County, Indiana. Sarah was 19 years old and had attended school within the census year.5 
Marriage*24 July 1869She married, as his first wife, Charles A. Hale, son of George W. Hale and Mariah Jane Grant, on 24 July 1869 in Delaware County, Indiana.4,3 
Census US 1870*21 July 1870Sarah and Chas Hale were enumerated on the 1870 census taken on 21 July 1870 in Anderson, Madison County, Indiana. Chas was 24 years of age and worked as a farm hand, and Sarah was 28 years of age and keeping house. Neither of them was able to read or write.6 
Death*6 May 1873She probably died, at about age 18, soon after giving birth to her first child on 6 May 1873 in Wabash County, Indiana. Three months after their son's birth, her widowed husband married a second time.13,14,15

Sarah D. Carman1

Family
Father*John C. Carman2 b. 17 Feb 1816
Mother*Martha Condit2 b. 1832, d. 1870
Birth*1856Sarah D. Carman was born about 1856 in Indiana.3 
Name VariationHer full name was Sarah Dove Carman.2 
(Younger Daughter) Research Notes Even after resolving our dilemma of which Sarah Carman, Sarah D. Carman the elder, or Sarah D. Carman the younger, would marry Charles A. Hale in 1869, we were still questioning why William Allen Carman (1806-1881) would have two daughters with the same name. In our pursuit of the answer, we met David Carman, a living researcher and direct descendant of William A. Carman, through his son, Nathan Branson Carman (b. 1856). David has preserved the records kept by his Carman family and shared with us the important information we needed. As a short summary of what we learned from David, the second Sarah, Sarah D. Carman, was not William's daughter at all, but his niece, the daughter of William's deceased brother, John C. Carman, and Martha (Condit) Carman, his widow, who became William's third wife in 1858.

We are very grateful to David Carman for both having the records we needed to answer our questions about his ancestors, and also for his willingness to share his knowledge. Some additional information we learned from David is also included, with gratitude, in our project.2 
(Daughter) DeathShe was likely only about one year old when her father died at about age 40, around the time of her little brother's birth.2 
(Daughter) Marriage8 September 1858Her mother married a second time, on 8 September 1858, to William A. Carman, who was Sarah's uncle, her deceased father's brother. William's several children, Sarah's 1st cousins, with her mother's marriage, became Sarah's siblings.4,2 
(Daughter) Census US 186018 June 1860Sarah D. was enumerated on the 1860 census taken on 18 June 1860 in the household of her mother and stepfather, who was also her uncle, in Brownstown, Jackson County, Indiana. Sarah D. was 4 years old.3

We are very grateful to David Carman for both having the records we needed to answer our questions about his ancestors, and also for his willingness to share his knowledge. Some additional information we learned from David is also included, with gratitude, in our project.4

Census US 1860*18 June 1860Martha and William Carman were enumerated on the 1860 census taken on 18 June 1860 in Brownstown, Jackson County, Indiana. William was 56 years of age and a farmer with a personal estate valued at $450, and Martha was 28 years of age and not able to read or write. Seven children were enumerated with them in 1860. The first four were William's children from his first marriage. Sarah was 19 years old and had attended school within the census year; and Eliza, James and Nathan were ages 16, 8 and 4 years, respectively. Martha's two children, Sarah D. and John, from her first marriage to William's deceased brother, were ages 4 and 3 years, respectively. And the couple's baby daughter, Beulah A., who was recorded by the census taker as "Baba A.", was one year old. William's younger brother, George, with his wife, Catharine, and six children, were enumerated in the first household above Willliam's on the same census page.1 
Census US 1870*25 June 1870Martha and William Carman were enumerated on the 1870 census taken on 25 June 1870 in Center, Delaware County, Indiana. William was 65 years of age and a Teamster with real estate valued at $300 and a personal estate valued at $150, and Martha was 37 years of age, keeping house, and unable to read or write. Three children were enumerated with them in 1870. John, Martha's son from her first marriage, was 12 years old, had attended school within the census year, and was not yet able to read or write; Elmer E., the couple's son, was 4 years old; and Nathan, William's son from his first marriage, was 14 years old, working as a farm laborer, and was able to read, although not to write. Two other men were enumerated with the family in 1870, and were likely boarders. Frederick Baker was 21 years old, had been born in Prussia, and worked as a railroad laborer, and Edward Jenson was 21 years old, had been born in Ireland, and worked as a gardener.11 
Marriage*23 July 1876He married fourth, as her second husband, Sarah S. Sayler, daughter of Peter Sailers and Maria Hartman, on 23 July 1876 in Delaware County, Indiana. All of William's surviving children were adults, as were most of Sarah's. Only her youngest, Elmer Strong, who was about 12 years old, was not.12 
Census US 1880*8 June 1880Sarah and William Carman were enumerated on the 1880 census taken on 8 June 1880 in Center, Delaware County, Indiana. William was 75 years of age and worked as the keeper of a toll gate, and Sarah was 45 years of age and keeping house. William was sick with a disease known in 1880 as "gravel", which in 2026 is called kidney stones. Enumerated with the couple in 1880 was Elmer Strong, Sarah's son from a prior relationship. He was 16 years old and was usually a farm worker, although on the day the census was taken he was disabled in some way and not able to work.13 
Injury*4 May 1881 On 4 May 1881, The Muncie Morning News, Muncie, Delaware County, Indiana, reported that William A. Carman, the gate keeper on the Smithfield pike, had been assaulted and severely choked a few days before by a man by the name of Daniel Sutton, who was removing from Yorktown to Smithfield. Sutton, it appeared, had refused to pay the toll and the gate keeper closed the gate on him and would not let him pass through, which enraged Sutton. He went for the old man and choked him badly. Mr. Carman was described as about eighty years of age, not strong, and was unable to defend himself. It was reported that a warrant had been issued for the arrest of Sutton but he had not yet been apprehended.14 
Illness*3 June 1881A month after his severe attack, The Muncie Morning News, on 3 June 1881, reported that William A. Carman, an old citizen of the county, was lying very low and was not expected to live.15 
Death*July 1881He died, probably as a result of his injuries, in June or July 1881 in Delaware County, Indiana, at age 75.15

He appointed Andrew Bell of Creevy and Mark Kerr of Tokay Lodge his trustees, and named his three sons, Andrew Bell Booth, Reverend Richard Bell Booth, George Thomas Bell Booth as his executors.

The Registry's copy of Robert's will was prepared without paragraphs and with little punctuation, so we have taken the liberty of separating the thoughts where we thought appropriate for ease of reading. Our transcription of the registry's copy follows:

In the name of God Amen, I Robert Bell Booth of Drumcarban in the County of Cavan, Esquire, being of sound and disposing mind, memory and understanding, do make, publish and declare this my last Will and Testament, revoking all former wills and testimonies in writing or otherwise. Imploring the Almighty through the merits and blood of Christ my Savior and Redeemer to receive my Soul into the Eternal Bliss and Glory, I direct my remains to be buried in my family burial ground in the Churchyard of Ballimaun in decent and becoming manner, trusting that my beloved sons, my executors, will conduct and commit my body to the earth. And as to such property as I am possessed of, I dispose of as follows:

I do hereby will, devise and bequeath all my real and freehold estates of and in the towns and lands of Bellsgrove, otherwise Aghacreevy, Corlislea, Drumcarban, Derrylane and Kevit, situate in the county of Cavan, and the lands of Mullaghmeen, situate in Westmeath, unto Andrew Bell of Creevy in the county of Longford and Mark Kerr of Tokay Lodge in the county of Dublin, Esquire, as trustees, and to the survivors of them, and to the heirs and assigns of such survivors, upon the trusts, and to and for the several uses, interests and purposes hereinafter expressed and declared, for and concerning the same, and to no other use, interest or purpose whatsoever.

And my will is that as to, for and concerning the lands of Bellsgrove, otherwise Aghacreevy, and the lands of Mullaghmeen in trust, to permit and suffer my eldest son Andrew, immediately after my decease, to enter into and have, hold, use and enjoy the same as his Estate for and during the term of his natural life, subject however to the payment of and chargeable with the debt of £300 sterling which he and I owe to Robert Parkes, together with the interest thereof, from my decease until paid, and also subject to the chief or ground rents thereof, with remainder of and in said lands and premises to the first and other sons, in seniority of age and priority of birth, and the lives male of such child or children of the said Andrew, lawfully to be begotten of the body of any wife he may hereafter marry, such marriage however to be by and with the consent of and approbation of my said trustees as hereinafter mentioned. The elder of such sons to always be preferred to the younger. And in case the said Andrew shall marry with the approbation of my trustees, or the survivors of them, and not otherwise, I do hereby authorize them and him to provide a competent jointure for such wife, chargeable on said lands. And should he hereafter have lawful issue more than one, my will is that the said Andrew shall have power, and I do hereby invest him with full power, to charge and encumber said lands for younger children with any sum reasonable and under the direction of my said trustees, or the survivor of them, such sum for younger children or female child not to exceed £2,000 sterling. And in case the said Andrew shall not have issue male lawfully begotten, or that having issue male and that he or they, or any of them, shall not attain the age of 21 years, then and in case such event or events shall happen, my will is that my said trustees, and the survivor of them, and the heirs and assigns of such survivors, shall permit and suffer my second son, the Reverend Richard Bell Booth, in case he should survive the said Andrew or his issue male lawfully to be begotten, to have, hold and enjoy the said lands of Bellsgrove, otherwise Aghacreevy, and Mullaghmeen, subject however to such jointure for any wife the said Andrew may marry and provision for the younger children or female issue of said Andrew of such marriage, should there be any, as shall or may on such marriage be agreed on. And also subject to such chief rents as payable thereout. And in case the said Andrew and Richard should both happen to die without lawful issue male, or that having lawful issue male and that he or they should die and not attain the age of 21 years, then upon trust to permit and suffer my youngest son George Thomas Bell Booth and his issue male to have, hold and enjoy said lands of Bellsgrove, otherwise Aghacreevy, and Mullaghmeen as aforesaid.

And should he thereafter have lawful issue more than one or if only one, a daughter, my will is that the said Richard shall have the power, and I do hereby invest him with the power, to charge and encumber said lands for younger children with any sum reasonable, and under the direction of my said trustees or the survivor of them. Such sum for younger children or female child not to exceed the sum of £2,000 sterling.

And it is my will and desire, and I do empower each of my three sons, Andrew, Richard and George Thomas, respectively, when in possession of the premises to make leases and grant all or any part of the premises they are respectively entitled to under this my will for any term not exceeding one life or 31 years when in possession not in reversion without fraud or fine, and at the best improved yearly rent that can be had for same from solvent tenants, and so as every such lease contains covenants against waste and that the tenant do execute a counterpart thereof.

I have herein before mentioned the sum of £1,500 as charged on the lands of Corlislea and the sum of £500 as a charge on Drumcarban, Derrylane and Kevit. I do now declare and my will is that said respective sums do stand charged on said lands, respectively, and be payable with interest from my death as aforesaid, and that said sums together with the sum of £2,000 sterling shall be equally divided by my trustees between my two daughters, Letitia and Margaret Bell Booth, so that the fortune or portion of each shall be £1,000 with interest payable to each on their respective marriages. I do however declare it is my will that in the meantime they, or either of them, shall only receive the interest at the rate of 6 percent per annum by half-yearly payments on the first of every six months after my decease, and in case either or both of my said daughters should happen to die before marriage, or be married without the consent and approbation of my said trustees, or the survivor of them, or the heirs or assigns of such survivor, and also the consent and approbation of the said Reverend Richard Bell Booth then, and either of those events so happening, the fortune or portion and all arrears of interest thereon of such, or either or both so remaining unmarried, or offending by marriage against the consent and approbation aforesaid, shall go to, and be ratably divided by my said trustees, and go between my said three sons, Andrew, Richard and George Thomas, or the survivors or survivor of them, and share and share alike. And such of my daughters so offending herein shall only have and receive a sum of £50 sterling instead of £1,000 as aforesaid.

Robert Baker is indebted to me by bond and warrant in the sum of £96 or thereabouts together with interest, and the same is secured by a deed between him and James Smyth of Cavan, Esquire, whereby an insurance is to be kept up that on the death of said Robert Baker said debt with his other debts will be paid. I bequeath said debt and all advantage therefrom to Mary, second daughter of said Robert Baker.

I order and direct, and I do hereby will and bequeath, the furniture of and belonging to two of my best chambers be reserved and handed over to my daughters, Letitia and Margaret, and it is my wish they should reside with my son George after closing their education and until their marriage, respectively, on an understanding to make some renumeration.

I do hereby devise and bequeath the remainder of my household furniture at Drumcarban and the farming utensils or implements of husbandry to my son George Thomas Bell Booth.

I do hereby order and direct that my executors shall, with all convenient speed after my decease, ascertain and collect as well, the debts due to me as those due by me. And for that purpose, immediately after my decease, to sell, dispose of or value my goods, chattels and personal property not herein before bequeathed or disposed of and, after payment of my debts, funeral expenses and £5 each to Jane McCabe and James Quin, should they be in my service at my decease, that the residue of such personal property and all other property not herein disposed of, be equally divided, share and share alike, between by beloved, dutiful and much respected children, Mary, wife of Robert Baker, Andrew, Richard, George Thomas, Jane Amelia, wife of John Carmichael, Letitia and Margaret Bell Booth and that same be paid them each, respectively, notwithstanding their coverture.

I do now nominate, constitute and appoint my sons Andrew, Richard and George Thomas Bell Booth executors of this my last will and testament and with the affection of a fond parent, I consign them to act in all things under this my will and more especially in forming any connection by marriage by, with, and under the consent and approbation of my good and faith worthy trustees who are uncles to each of them, respectively.

There is a bond debt due to me by Arthur Moneypenny, Esquire, amounting to £50 with interest. I hereby bequeath this sum to Mr. Moneypenny and I direct my executors to acquit and release the last-mentioned debt.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto affixed my name and seal this 27th day of January 1825.                    Signed… Robert B. Booth

We are always suspicious of "widows" on census reports because, often, divorced women did not like to admit to that distinction. In Lyndall's case, however, although we have not been able to find a record of James's death, neither have we been able to find a record of him alive after his draft registration.8,1 
Census US 1920*29 January 1920Lyndall Dowis was enumerated as the head of her household on the 1920 census taken on 29 January 1920 in Township 5, Fresno County, California. She was 23 years of age and a widow. Lyndall owned her house, which was on a farm, and worked for wages as a Housekeeper for a Private Family. Her three children were enumerated with her in 1920. Lloyd and Verna were ages 7 and 4 years, respectively, and David was 19 months old.1 
Marriage*She married second Harry H. Moore, son of Eli Moore and Tamzon John.6,9 
Marriage*14 June 1929She married third, as his second wife, Stanley Blair Moore, son of Eli Moore and Tamzon John, on 14 June 1929 in Los Angeles County, California. Stanley was the older brother of Lyndall's second husband, Harry H. Moore.10,11 
Census US 1930*9 April 1930Lyndall and Stanley Moore were enumerated on the 1930 census taken on 9 April 1930 at 1162½ S. Downey Road, Montebello, Los Angeles County, California. Stanley was 38 years of age, had served in World War I, and worked for wages as a laborer for a Cement Company, and Lyndall was 33 years of age. They rented their house for $12 per month. Stanley reported his age at his first marriage as 37 years, however it was actually 27, and he had been 37 years of age when he married Lyndall. She reported she had been 18 years old at her first marriage, although she was likely only about 15 years old when she married her first husband. Three of Lyndall's children, all from her marriage to Stanley's brother, Harry, were enumerated with them in 1930. Mergie was 7 years old and had attended school within the census year, and her younger brothers, Harry and Theodore, were ages 4 years and one year, respectively. Also enumerated in the Moore household in 1930 were Lyndall's half-brother, Theodore R. Goodlin, with his wife, Dendia M. (Pacifici) Goodlin, and son Theodore Goodlin, who was about five months old. His parents were both recorded as 22 years of age, and his father, Theodore, worked for wages as a truck driver for a Trucking Company. In the next household on the same census page, Lyndall Rosa Moore and Theodore R. Goodlin's mother, Rosa Goodlin, was enumerated at 1162 S. Downey Road.11,12 
(Stepmother) Relocation1935After the death of his mother, her stepson, Walter Stanley Moore, moved to Los Angeles County, California to be with or near his father and stepmother, and by early 1935, the family had settled in the valley of Antelope, Los Angeles County.13,14 
Census US 1940*6 April 1940Lyndall R. and Stanley B. Moore were enumerated on the 1940 census taken on 6 April 1940 on 78th Street (Littlerock), Antelope, Los Angeles County, California. Stanley was 48 years of age, had completed his education through the 8th grade of Elementary School, and worked for wages as a carpenter for the Government's Building Construction, and Lyndall was 43 years of age, had completed her education through the 5th grade of Elementary School, and did the home housework. They rented their home for $12 per month. Three children were enumerated with the couple in 1940. Harry E. and Theodore B., Lyndall's sons from her marriage to Stanley's brother, were ages 14 and 11 years, respectively. Harry had completed his education through the 7th grade of Elementary School, and Theodore had completed his education through the 5th grade of Elementary School; both boys had attended school within the census year. Stanley and Lyndall's daughter, Doris L., was 4 years old. Stanley's son, Walter Stanley Moore, and Lyndall's daughter, Mergie H. (Moore) Moore, who had married each other in July 1939, were enumerated nearby, and all of them had also lived on a farm, or farms, in Antelope on 1 April 1935.15 
(Wife) Death6 October 1944Lyndall became a widow when Stanley Blair Moore died on 6 October 1944 at age 53.16,17 
Marriage*25 August 1945She married fourth Charles L. Webster on 25 August 1945.18 
(Mother) Draft Registration5 November 1946Her son, Theodore Blair Moore, completed his World War II Draft Registration Card on 5 November 1946 in Palmdale, Los Angeles County, California. He was 18 years old, lived and worked in Palmdale, and reported that the person who would always know his address was his mother, Mrs. C. Leonard Webster, who also lived in Palmdale. Theodore reported his employer as C. L. Webster, whom we believe was his stepfather, Charles L. Webster.19 
Relocation*1949 By 1949, Lyndall was in the process of divorcing her fourth husband and, with the families of her daughter and son-in-law, Mergie and Walter Stanley Moore, and son and daughter-in-law, Irene and Theodore Blair Moore, had moved to Glenada, Lane County, Oregon.20,21,22,18 
Census US 1950*4 May 1950Lyndall R. Webster was enumerated as the head of her household on the 1950 census taken on 4 May 1950 on the right side of the Old County Road, Glenada, Lane County, Oregon. She was 54 years of age and was separated from her husband. She worked as a cook in a privately owned cafe, and had worked 35 hours the week before the census was taken. Two of her children were enumerated with her. Harry E. was 26 years of age, worked as a Cut Off Sawyer on a Skinner Saw in a privately owned Plywood Plant, and was also reported to be seeking work, and Doris L. was 14 years old. In the next household before Lyndall's, her son and daughter-in-law, Irene E. and Theodore B. Moore, were enumerated with their two children, and in the next household before theirs, spanning Sheet# 25 and Sheet# 26, was Lyndall's daughter and son-in-law, Mergie H. and Walter S. Moore, with their four children.20,21,22 
Divorce Granted*25 July 1950Lyndall Rosa Moore and Charles L. Webster were divorced on 25 July 1950 in Lane County, Oregon. Lyndall had filed for the divorce against Charles, stating the cause as "cruel and inhuman treatment", and the divorce was granted to her as Plaintiff. No children were affected.18
