Generelle notater: Hustru - Mildred Bass

Mildreds parents lived in Tauria, Missouri when she was born.

Mildreds aunt Myrtle Bass was married to William L. Welch. Their nephew Lester Davis (mother Laura Welch m. Fish Davis) was the father of Mildreds daughter, the couple were to get married at one point, unknown why it did not happen. Mildred was sent to a home for wayward mothers in Detroit. She would never talk about the father, but it was common knowledge in the large families that they were courting. Now DNA matched.
