    A descendant of James Robert gave us Odell's full name and presumably correct spelling of the middle name, along with other valuable family information.

    -----------------
    Joseph had a son Daniel, which had several children one of which was James Robert who was married to Gussie, Kathryn and then Marion  [not previosuly known in my tree].  With Marion Cook Day (1905-2004) he had a son, Robert James Day (1937-2015) and he had three sons with Margaret Eccles Day (b1937), Robert James, Jr (me) (1959); Steven Craig (1961) and Dennis Scott (1965).  All from Phoenix.

    This was Marion's second marriage after her first husband had passed, she had a daughter Virginia (B1930) prior to marriage with James.

    James Robert had 2 other sons James O'Dell [son of Gussie (no maiden name known)] and Lloyd Ray.
    --  Robert Day Jr, Geneanet Messaging to Orville Boyd Jenkins, 16 February 2917
    -----------------

    A search on the name Lloyd Ray confirmed that this was also Gussie's son, born in 1923.  His birth cetificate gives us Gussie's maiden name of Rusk.
