Below is a marriage record for his first wife who you do not have listed. He and Hazel Pierce had a son Charles "Buster" b. 1917 in Iowa who was adopted by James Sickler and his wife Myrtle. He is living with them in the 1930 census in Council Bluffs, Pottawattamie Co., Iowa -- and I can't find him after that.
