Notes:

Grandma was a football cheerleader one season.

When she was about 10 years old she played sandlot baseball. She had a boyfriend who was usually captain and he'd say, "I'll take her." She was the only girl that played - she loved sports all her life.

She and "Sadie" were the only two in her class the first few years in school - just two in her grade. A one room school house with 8 grades. Up front to the recitation bench for class, back in the room for studying. 3 or 4 kids in each grade. She was in the first grade, 6 years old, when mother died. Dad remarried and her mother's mother adopted the kids.

Earl stepped out on his wife Ethel, with a woman named Ida I., who is buried beside him. Ida I. has headstone dates of 1900 - 1990. Not yet a confirmed marriage.

For Earl and his next younger sister, Blanche, birth order is certain. The birth order of the other three girls is uncertain.

James married Ethel Amanda Skinner 3 Aug 1915. Ethel (daughter of Harvey Patterson Skinner and Helen Electa Johnson) was born 16 Mar 1890, Kygerville, Gallia, Ohio, United States; died (6?) Sep 1925, Meigs, Ohio, United States. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Earl stepped out on Ethel, who was ill, with Ida I. When Ethel died, the children were still young, and Ethel's mother, Helen Electa, adopted them.

Thelma Marie found birth records in Pomeroy (Meigs co., county seat) for Esther and Joe, therefore born in Meigs county. (Ethel's birth record isn't there, she was born in Kygerville, so grandma assumes her birth record then must be in Gallipolis.) Ethel's about 12 yrs older than Esther Grandma said.
