  Marriage Notes:

Earl and May must have traveled somewhat during their marriage. They were both born in Indiana and married in Lake County, Indiana. Their first son, Lester, was born in Indiana in 1905 but their second son was born in Illinois in 1907. The 1910 US Census shows them back in Porter County, Indiana. By around 1918 or so, they are apparently divorced because May remarries to Bert J. Slagle on 1 Nov 1919 in Saint Joseph County, Michigan. The 1920 US Census shows May, her second husband, and her two sons living at the home of her parents in Valparaiso, Porter County, Indiana.
