Notes: Marriage (Mary Louise Turner):

His 3d marr. (prev. div.), she single. He unemployed. Marr. by W.O. Sheppard, Min. The marr. cert. shows he marr. Louise on May 2, 1955, but their children were born well before that date. It also says this was his 3d marr. His WWII draft card, in 1942, names his wife as Louise, and their orig. marr. cert. has his wife's name as Mary Louise (Lemons) Lemons. Thus, the 1955 marr. is likely a remarriage, after they they prev. divorced. The possibility of a 2d wife also name Louise is avoided in that Louise is living in the household of her parents in the 1920 census. The possibility exists that they didn't marry throughout the birth of their children; 1st marrying in 1955.
