  • Notes 
    • What is Bertha's maiden name? Since 'Carpenter' is her son's surname,I presume that was her married surname. (David H. Drollinger 5 Sep2008)

      Ref 'Richard H. Carpenter', the son of Bertha's from a previousmarriage and 'Leah M. Carpenter' who is listed in the 1930 Census as'adopted daughter', however, was she adopted by Bertha during herprior marriage or was she adopted by Malvern and Bertha together? IfLeah was legally adopted by Malvern, did she also take the'Drollinger' surname? And if she was adopted, what date was sheadopted? (David H. Drollinger 5 Sep 2008)
