Notes
- I have a memory that one of the sisters of my grandmother Julia Virginia Jenkins was named Clarice. I have found no documentation indicating what her middle name was. Social Security records have her name as Clarice Lewis.
Earlier research for the family had indicated the 1910 census recorded her name as Gladys. After I was able to view a copy of the original record, I saw that this was a misreading of the sloppy writing, overwritten by the descending letters from the above entry. The name is actually Claris, which can be seen as a spelling of the name Clarice.
I do not remember ever visiting Clarice and her family, even though she lived not far from her sister, my grandmother Julia Virginia Jenkins, in Chickasha. We would drive about 3 hours from Quanah, Texas, to visit my grandparents in Chickasha. I do not remember knowing that she had relatives in Marlow, about another hour west. We did on occasion visit relatives of my mother in the Green family in Marlow.
Clarice is recorded in the census with her family in 1900 in Murray County, Georgia, where she was born, and in 1910 in Stephens County, Oklahoma.

Clarice married Bert Earl Lewis, sometime before September 1918, when she is reproted by naem as his wife, when Bert regiistered for the WWI draft. In 1920, Clarice and Bert Lewis are living with her parents on their farm near Marlow, Oklahoma.
But the enumerator has confused the names, apparently taking Louis (Lewis) as Clarice's first name, or miswriting it. But he adds an extra letter or loop so that her name Louis is even misspelled. Maybe he was trying to turn Lewis/Louis into Louise? Even worse, their son Terry Stanton, is reported as a girl here. The child's name was probably a further cause for confusion, since they named him Terry, the surname of the household.
