Her parents were next door neighbors of mine as I was growing up. They were Tony J. Miles and Leota Carender Miles. I also knew Carmen well.

If you will look at Find a Grave #92621552 this is her father. I just thought it should be corrected in case some of her family were looking for family tree info.

The census records and the marriage license for MO. list them with the same last names that I have given. I just knew these people personally and knew it was wrong.

Special thanks to her friend and neighbor who took the time to correct Carmen's maiden name.
