      Why aren't the other children named?

      Virginia Matcek's death record gives her mother as Virginia Arledge, her mother married Menton Arledge.

      I'm still not sure that all seven of the children belong to Frank AND Virginia, perhaps a case of yours, mine and ours.

      I cannot find a death record or cemetery record for Virginia Arledge. I have to assume that she married again. Maybe that is where her daughter got the Stewart Crain portion of her name? [I've found Virginia's death record and another marriage but I stll don't know where the Crain came from.]

      Out of 7 children, I've only managed to track two to their deaths. Edward may have died as an infant since he isn't on the 1910 census. Clifton and Willie are on the 1920 census with their mom. Minnie and Lillie were probably married. Menton re-married in 1926 but I don't find any of them on the 1930 census. I think Jennie lied about her age because she was so much older than Menton. That might explain why Menton didn't know Charley's mother's name. The 1900 gives her birth as Jan 1879, still making her very young when she married about 1894. Girls did seem to marry at a young age when their fathers died.
