bullet  Marriage Notes:

Donald and Bessie had a son named Donald, Jr. who was born in 1926 and died at the age of only 1 week. He was buried in the Oakwood Cemetery where they were also buried.

In 1928, they had another son born whom they also named Donald, Jr. This son appears on the 1930 and 1940 Census with them so it cannot be the same son that was born and died in 1926 even though the two sons were given the same name.
