  General Notes:

Email from Jo Ann Lee, 8 Nov 2010:
Rosie's son, Clarence Meril Bird, adopted the last name of Wilson after her marriage to Edward Young Wilson. He was a Findlay barber. After Clarence's release from the IOOF home, he lived with his mother & step-father during the last 1920's. He also was a barber. He disappeared in 1932 & supposedly went to California abandoning his wife & child. He also had an affair with a women from the Indian Lake area. He had a daughter with her. He has disappeared & no one knows where he went. His wife tried to have divorce papers served on him in 1939. His wife was granted a divorce for non support & abandonment.

My cousin Tom Brown provided a lot of information on the family. His information provided leads. Information on Clarence was found thru ancestry.com by the family of LaVada Simmons. LaVada is the girl he had an affair with.
