Biography

WARNING:

• The marital dates seem out of whack ... there is an "Edith" listed as mother to the three children born 1931 to 1939 and it seems reasonable to assume that given her DOB indicated in the 1940 census age 27 born c1913 that she is as cited elsewhere Edith West - still have not located a marriage record for 1928/1940
• It does seem odd that Lacy Gomer was the father being 23 in the 1940 Census, with a 9 yo son (meaning he was about 15 when his first child was born.
• It is possible that the marriage dates cited (1965, 1969, and 1981 refer to Lacy Gomer's on, Lacy Lavorne (1936-1998) and that Lacy Lavorne was using his father's name as an alias
