Ervin Jack Arnsbarger ^{1 2 3 4 5 6}

  General Notes:

It is not known for certain how his given name was actually spelled. Some documents show it as Erwin while other show it as Ervin.
-------------------------------------------

The Find A Grave memorial page lists an additional wife named Vera Ruth Traxler who supposedly married Ervin in 1932. No other details about the marriage are provided and no documentation can be found to substantiate the marriage. The marriage is very much in doubt considering that he was not divorced until 1937.

I'm not sure what to make of this seemingly short-turn marriage. There was another marriage license issued just one year later in Oct 1938 for Erwin and Ida Higginbotham. On that application, Erwin indicated that he had been married only once before and was divorced in 1937. That is the same information he gave on his license application for this 2nd wife, Gladys Sundeen. Either the marriage to Gladys was somehow annulled or never happened or Erwin lied about his previous marriages on the application with Ida Higginbotham.
