  Before the 1940 census, widowed Lawrence Whiteside married a younger Don Hudson, who is reported as 24 in the 1940 census, when his wife Lawrence was 44.  Since the census reports all of them have lived in the same place, we may figure that Don and Lawrence married before 1935.  But the enumerator may have meant only that they all lived in Ethel.
