Research Notes

According to his World War I draft registration, he was of medium height and build, with light blue eyes and dark brown hair.

The 1940 census lists John L (b. abt 1893 in Kansas), George A. (b. abt 1901 in Colorado), and Bernice (b. abt 1906 in Colorado). Bernice was married to a Hayes, but her husband was not living with her. All were listed as John's (adult) children. Their surname might have been Renicks (it was written in, then crossed out). "Renicks" looks like John's wife's previous name, "Remick," so I assume that John adopted her children.
