    The daughter Connie in 1930 matches the child reported in 1920 as Cora E, one month old.  This must be the same child, and Connie's son Kenneth reports to me that she was Connie Louise.  So I cannot account for the name Cora E in 1920..

    Note that the 1930 census has Jim as James M.  His name on his grave, however, is James K Jones.

    Jim's age in the 1940 census is younger than we would expect.  It should be either 40 or 41.
