| Notes |
- EA and Lillian both were traveling sales people. EA sold mens straw hats, ties and cookware. Lillian sold womens gloves, lace cuffs and collars. They traveled by train, but then they purchased a car and traveled together for many years. EA was divorced and Lillian was separated. After her husband died, they supposedly got married but I don't have any documents to prove that.
EA filed for divirce from his wife, Ruby, citing extreme cruelty and asking for custody of 3 children Dec 7, 1926.
It must not have been granted. Ruby later filed for divorce citing abandonment. On June 13, 1934. She was given custody of one minor child and $5 per week child support.
My mother and father (Ina and Rex Lewis) say that EA was a very kind, sweet man. He must have been a glutton for punishment though, because Lillian was also a VERY difficult woman.
