1907 - 1988  (81 years)

• Name	Agnes Ivy Strong  [1]
  Birth	20 May 1907	Walters, Cotton County, Oklahoma   [1]
  Gender	Female
  Death	27 Nov 1988	Chickasha, Grady County, Oklahoma   [1]
  Notes	Agnes lived with her grandparents at the time of the 1910 census, her parents in 1920, and with her Uncle Earl Strong at the time of the 1930 census. She was listed as a waitress at a hotel, and divorced. Her daughter, Patty, was four months old at the time. During the Depression, a Captain in the Salvation Army sent Agnes to be interviewed by Walter Patty. He had a boarding house, and was widowed with several small children, and apparently could not keep housekeepers. The Salvation Army captain thought Agnes was well quailified despite her youth. She was hired, and she and her daughter Peggy moved into an apartment at the boarding house. Over a period of time, Walter and Agnes developed an affinity for each other and were married. He was a good husband, and good father to both his own children and to Peggy, who took his last name. (Research): Census Information: 1910 Census Oklahoma.
