Henry Bennett Yost). Date range based on the 1930 census where Velma is 36 yo with 1st marriage at age 23. Ollie shows 40 yo with 1st marriage at age 21, suggesting he may have had a prior marriage.1,4,5

Henry Clayton Suggs Jr.¹

Last Edited

18 Nov 2024

Birth*	Henry was born on 28 February 1879 in Rich Hill, Bates Co., Missouri, s/o Henry Clayton Suggs & Elzina Sophronia Jackson. His obit & WWI draft cards both say he was born on 28 Feb 1879. Find A Grave's year is 1877.2,3,4
Marriage*	He married Nellie Minerva More, daughter of Charles Henry More and Sarah Catherine Myers, on 11 February 1909 in Carthage, Joplin Co., Missour. My preliminary research suggests their children were Ollie Leeroy Suggs (1909-1982, m1 Wilma B Sloan, res. Coffeyville, KS 1930, m2 Virginia Merle Peterson), Henry Suggs (1911- , perhaps m. Judith Vlasie), Violet Gertrude Suggs (1914-1974, m. Frank LoChiano), and Velma Victoria Suggs (1919- , perhaps m. Lenward B Smith). Both Henry & Nellie were of Fort Scott on their Missouri marriage license. The 1910 census says married 2 years w/ 1 born and 1 living.      FSTrees claims Henry m1 Pearl Leona Wolfe in 1900 and had issue Viola Elsie (1901-1987), Daisy Mildred (1903-1984), and Rolland Clayton Suggs (1906-1945).5,6,1
ResearchNote*	Research Note of 22 June 2020 re obits. The obits for both Henry & Nellie say they had four children. I have listed them in the marriage tag as Ollie Leeroy, Henry, Violet Gertrude, and Velma Victoria Suggs. There is adequate evidence to support all four names.      However there's one puzzling person, Howard D Luckey, who claims Henry & Nellie as his parents in his Montana marriage record. I find a 20 yo lodger Henry Suggs in the 1930 census in the home of Fred & Florence Nather in Kessler, Montana. His age is good but birthstate is MO rather than KS. Close enough. Best guess is that Howard D Luckey is Henry Suggs. Whether he changed his name or it's a simple transcription error remains unclear.7
Census1910*	Henry and Nellie appeared on the 1910 Federal Census of Baker Twp., Crawford Co., Kansas, enumerated 21 April 1910, as 30 yo coal mine driver Henery & 17 yo wife Melle N Sugges. Their 1 yo son Ollie Leeroy Sugges was listed as living with them.6
Residence*	Henry and Nellie resided in Pittsburg, Crawford Co., Kansas, in 1914.8
Occupation*	Henry was a miner employed by the Price Coal Company before his death between 1914 and 1919.3,8
CensusNF1*	Henry and Nellie appeared on the 1915 Kansas State Census of Pittsburg, Crawford Co., Kansas, enumerated 1915, as 35 yo Henry & 22 yo Nellie Suggs. Their children 6 yo Ollie, 4 yo Henry and 1 yo Violet Suggs were listed as living with them.9
Death*	Henry died on 2 January 1919 at YMCA Hospital in Pittsburg, Crawford Co., Kansas, at age 39, of influenza, presumably part of the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic.3,4
Burial*	He was buried at Mount Olive Cemetery in Pittsburg, Crawford Co., Kansas. Joint headstone photo is available at Find A Grave.4
Estate-Admin	His administration of estate began on 29 January 1919 at Probate Court, Crawford Co., Kansas.10,11

The puzzle is listed as 58 yo widowed 'mother' Nora J Morgan, born Ohio. Yet George's mother is listed as born Indiana, and Nora's as Pennsylvania. So whose mother is it? Definitely not George's.6
Census1930	Ada and George appeared on the 1930 Federal Census of Portland, Multnomah Co., Oregon, enumerated 4 April 1930, as 56 yo electric railroad brakeman George W & 53 yo wife Ada A Myers.
