NOTE - One would think that some red flags would be waved on this marriage contract when Howard's mother's surname was Renton and the bride's name was also Renton. Irma was actually a 2nd cousin once removed to Howard. The license application form contains the question "Is the male/female contracting party of nearer blood kin to the female/male contracting party than second cousin? Both Howard and Irma replied "No". The question actually makes the marriage of 2nd cousins permissible.
-------------------------------------------

Based on the obituary for Howard it seems he was remarried at some time to a 2nd wife named Annabelle. No information about his 1st wife, Irma Renton.
