Notes

John Frank was called Frank by his family and sometimes JF.

In the 1920 census, Agnes Castellaw and her children are living two households away from Bertha McBride's two brothers. The family story is that Frank left Agnes for Bertha. Could John and Agnes have moved near the McBrides before they were divorced? I couldn't find JF and Bertha in the 1920 census. I found a record in Madison County that made me think they might have given wrong information for this census. Maybe they were trying to hide--or maybe it wasn't them.

About Louise--This is an email I received from Martha Jean Wilson Mann, who knew Louise and JF's children, Mary Francis Castellaw and Helen Castellaw:
"I knew Frances Mosier personally, Helen Jaynes also. They are wonderful people. Louise married a Mr. Dutton and had a son, called Junior, never knew his name, then she had a daughter, Jewel Fay Walters (married a Tritt) a beautiful girl, she then had two sons, Gene and Ray Mosier. They were the children of Floyd Mosier, brother to Lloyd Mosier who married Frances.
Louise was the illegitimate daughter of Bertha McBride. Her father's name (it is said) was Duncan."
