Also James KENNEDY (grandson, 2 years 4 months) and Bernell KENNEDY (granddaughter, 5 months). The above entry is copied from James Wiley Minter's (Otho's father's) record. As it shows, by 1920 Otho was a widower - he married his first wife in 1916. She was called Erbra Lucile Kennedy and died less than a year after she had married Otho. It's assumed by the way that the tow KENNEDY children weren't Otho's but his sister Lillie's. 1930 United States Federal Census: in District 18, Idabel, McCurtain, Oklahoma (both MINTER), Otho (head, 34, married at 21, born Alabama, salesman, grocery) and Deta (wife, 19, married at 18).
