bullet  Marriage Notes:

Although both Arthur and Eulah Byrd were from Missouri, it is not known for sure if they were married in Missouri or in Oklahoma which was where their first 8 children were born. No marriage document has yet been located. With her first child born in 1919 in Oklahoma, it is evident the Eulah Byrd must have married at age 16 or 17.

They have yet to be located in the 1920 census but by 1930 the census shows the entire family living in Walla Walla County, Washington which is where the last two of their 10 total children were born. Their son, William, was born in 1929 in Oklahoma which means that soon after his birth, the entire family moved from Oklahoma to Washington where they appeared in the 1930 census there.

Eulah died at the age of 34 in 1936 while Arthur lived for another 22 years. He died in 1958. Both were buried in Walla Walla County, Washington.
