Hi Sandra Yes that is the family I am researching. I have James, William, Leo and Beatrice and the children of James, Leo and Beatrice from the 1930 census. I am now looking for any information on their lives and descendents after this date.
From the WW2 draft info it looks as though William's wife Harriett had probably died and they did not have any children but I have not been able to confirm this yet.
Any more pointers would be great. Thanks
Jillian

If the above James is correct this looks like his wife Kathryn. There are a few RAOGK volunteers on the link below in Marion who would do Obituary look ups  which might help prove or disprove if it is the correct James.

Born 3 March 1910 and Died October 1983.
Last Residence: 97302  Salem, Marion, Oregon,
