Notes

I found information on Katheryn/Kathryn with her second husband George Hicks before finding her previous background and first marriage.

With clues from the 1940 census, I was able to find her 1930 census records with her first husband Robert Howard Fulmer in Shreveport, Louisiana. Robert and Katheryn are living in the home of her parents.

The second child Robert Fulmer Jr was born in Texas in 1932, so they must have moved to San Antonio not long after the 1930 census in Shreveport. The facts initially look like Robert died and Katheryn married George, who adopted her children. But it appears from Social Security records that Katheryn's first husband Robert Fulmer did not die before she married George Hicks, but lived until 1970.

In the 1930 census, it appears that the enumerator understood Katheryn's (and her daughter's) middle name to be Elberta, thus the initial E. In the 1940 census the enumerator made a point to write out the full middle name (above the first name at an angle) to read clearly as Alberta. This is the name found in a few famiy genealogies also that have detail and documentation.

In the 1920 census, she is named simply as Alberta.

Katheryn and Robert must have been divorced not long after moving to San Antonio from Shreveport where their first child was born. The divorce would have been by about 1835, since the birth of her first child with George would indicate a birth date in 1937.

The date of their divorce is estimated in 1935, based on birth of Robert and Katheryn's last child in Texas 1932, the 1940 report of their presence in San Antonio in 1935 and birth of the first child from Katheryn's second marriage about 1937. The marriage to George Hicks probably occurred about 1936.
