He and Bessie had 3 sons: George, William, and Ezra. All were very young when he passed. Bessie next married David Love.
After Bessie’s death, it appears the boys went to live with their aunt Lula Swift and her husband, William, as the 1940 census shows the younger two, now ages 18 and 17, in their household.
All three sons eventually went to Chicago. Their aunt, Sarah Nelson, lived there, as evidenced by Wm’s draft card referring to her, and having the same address as her.
At least 2 of the sons were in the military.
