Research Notes

It appears Harold's last name at birth was Mikkelsen from his mother's first husband Louis Mikkelsen. He later changed his surname to that of his mother's second husband, his stepfather, Lester Shaw Worthington. (Note in the 1930 U.S. Census, Harold is listed as stepson, not son, to Lester.)

A source for Harold's birth is yet to be found.
