Claude Betts was born February 19, 1884 according to his WWII Draft registration card. His WWII Draft registration card has his birth date as such, but his headstone reads February 14th. You have to take into consideration someone else is giving his birthdate and on his draft registration he is the one giving his date of birth with his signature on it. The odd thing is that his 3rd wife has the birthday of February 14, so it is possible something was misunderstood when asked about the birthdate for Claude after he had died.

Claude is the son of James Turnham Betts and Sierra Nevada Baxter.

on August 10, 1908 he married Lizzie Sarah Trumble.

On August 6, 1921 he married Zetta Southmayd daughter of Lucius Leroy Southmayd and Elizabeth Melinda Dooley and from this union a daughter was born in 1925, Elaine Betts.

The 1930 Census shows Claude married to Elsie as well as the WWII Draft reg. that was taken in 1942 shows him married to Elsie. The 1930 census for Zetta has her listed as Widowed, maybe the census taker misunderstood, or maybe Zetta was misled or she was divorced.

1930 has him living with his wife Elsie and their daughter Lorraine who was an infant.

Elsie was Elsie Manon, the widow of his brother James Rupert Betts.
