In 1930, it looks like Ira has a different wife, this one younger andnamed Laurie or Laudie. Names are scrawled badly and difficult tointerpret. For some reason a 17-year-old reported as a Son is listedlast. This is one of the uncertain names. It looks like Ione, whichis normally a girl's name.

Note that the birth place of Ira's father is now reported asMississippi, which matches earlier records of census and familyinformation for John C Jenkins. But in 1910 it was Alabama, and in1900 Tennessee. Also his brothers Ebb in 1910 reported his father asborn in Alabama, and in 1920 Tennessee and in 1930 Georgia. Theirbrother Cullen or Curly, reported it in 1920 as Tennessee.
Ira Lotus' cemetery information reports his middle name as Lois.
