bullet  Marriage Notes:


After being married and living in Kansas for a number of years, the family moved back to Illinois by 1910, locating in Kankakee County. Lauren died at the age of 51 in Kankakee in 1927. Blanche then moved up to the Minneapolis area by 1940 either with her children and maybe to be near her oldest son, Harold, who had married and may have moved there before his mother. Blanche died in 1971 at the age of 90 and was buried near her husband in Kankakee, Illinois.
