  Marriage Notes:

The 1920 US Census record for this family increasingly appears to be for the wrong family. The age of Otis was off by 9 years and the age of Millie was off by 4 years. More importantly, Millie's name was shown as Nellie and her birth location was given as Missouri instead of Illinois. Furthermore, since both of them died and were buried in Pike County, Illinois, is seems unlikely that they moved to Muscatine, Iowa even thought it is just over the Mississippi river.
