Research notes for Lawrence

Lawrence and Myrtle's marriage was the 2nd for Myrtle and the 3rd for Lawrence. Lawrence's first marriage was to Virginia Hastings (1904-1936). They had (I believe) three children: Lawrence II, James, and Lois Jean (yes, same name as Myrtle's daughter with Roy). Second to Anita Helmbreck. No known children from this marriage. Finally, he married Myrtle Krause in 1943.
