Birth of son Living HENDRON

Notes

  • She went by Lahoma.  Calling children by their middle name is a common practice in the Jenkins line in previous generations.

    On a list of births from her mother, Lahoma's birth date is listed as 25 Nov 1914, and her death record says the same; but her grave says 14 Nov 1914.  Social security and the California Death Index also have the birth date as 25 Nov 1914.

    Lahoma graduated from Fort Cobb High School, Fort Cobb, Caddo County, Oklahoma, in 1932.  Her Graduation Program is dated 24 April 1932.

    An Oklahoma marriage record may be for our Gladys Lahoma, since this is such an unusual combination of names.  This is an earlier marriage not known in any family information I have seen.

    No further record has been discovered for James Elmer McCall or for his and Lahoma together.  No record has been found for Lahoma in the 1940 census.

    But we know she married Charles Robert Hendron on 07 Jan 1943 (family sources).  By 1952 She and Charles were reproted in the Monrovia, California, City Direcotry.

    In 1955 and 1956, they are still in the city of El Monte.

    Our family visited the Hendrons on a vacations in 1956, when I was 8 years old.  I visited Aunt Lahoma again in 1981, when she lived alone in Oxnard, near Santa Barbara, still running her accounting business in 1981.  She and Uncle Charles had divorced in 1970

    By 1958, they are reported in Santa Barbara, a little north of LA along the coast.

    In 1959, there are two listings in Santa Barbara.

    We know that Charles and Lahoma divorced in 1970.  In the 1966 city directory, Charles and Lahoma are listed at separate addresses.  It appears they had separated by this time, and they divorced in 1970.  Karen appears to be Joe's husband, but Joe is not in the directory.

    They were reportred as a couple in the 1969 directory.  There is also a new name in the Hendron listings, a Mrs Karyn L Hendron, Karen appears to be Joe's husband, but Joe is not in the directory.

    In 1977 Gladys Lahoma was the only Hendron in the Santa Barbara City Directory.

    In the 1983 and 1985 city directories for Santa Barbara, Lahoma is the only Hendron listed.  Her home and business are listed at an address in Goleta.

    No further records are found for Lahoma until 1991.  That is the year she died.  Interestingly, a compilation of general directory entries for 1991 that indicates that she was in a Glide, Oregon, at the address of her son Russ.  Her death record, however, reports that she died in Santa Barbara, California.

    A granddaughter of Lahoma contacted me in November 2008.  Joe David's daughter Mia Hendron Haas comments about her grandmother.  "My sister and I, along with my mom were very close to Lahoma until she passed away in 1991. She was a wonderful Grandmother and always loved visits from us.  I think of her often."

    For some reason Lahoma's grave has the wrong birth date.  A list of children's births from Lahoma's mother (given to my mother, Lou Jenkins) has her birth date as Nov 25, 1914, while the grave has Nov 14, 1914.  Her California Death record and Social Security also have the correct date Nov 25, 1914.  I submitted a correction to the Find a Grave memorial for Lahoma, and the Death Record with the correct information was added.
