Notes:

Ken Harvey reports that he abandoned his parent's farm after an incident while he was feeding hogs. One of the boisterous animals knocked his bucket and spilt slop all over him. This routine experience caused the welling up of his horrible disenchantment with his agricultural prospects and resulted in him walking off the farm there and then. He became a trained waiter and he moved to California with his wife and daughter. He and Fay separated, and she and Lynn returned to Oklahoma. He came back from California to Oklahoma when he was ill with cancer.

Edward married Dora Fay Payne on 27 Mar 1935 in Jefferson County, Oklahoma.
