May actual Kin in that lot is Dorothy Foster, my dad's first cousin on his Mom's side.

>From her death notice in the RG I find out cousin Dorothy's middle name is Coral. That begs the question does her brother-in-law  Verne (Best man at their wedding in Spfld 1940 RG again) have middle name Dennis? or Denton or? 

And from the 1910 and 1920 ND Census it seems pretty clear Verne is born in 1910 after Census time or later, so why is his birth announced in his obit and on Family Search as 1909? Maybe so he could get into the Navy or some such??

Mildred's maiden name is Walkely. If anyone on the list is connected to these folks I would sure like to know about it.
