See general notes on her mother for 1930 census facts.
In a February 21, 2008 email, Barb Sterling wrote that her mother and father divorced ca 1940 and that her mom remarried James Wesley Utterbach. From that I was able to find the following: http://www.herald-mail.com/?module=displaystory&story_id=42387&format=html Romaine E.
