A newspaper article (cir 1939) has a picture of Clarence, a laborer, and states that he confessed to shooting a lady friend, Mildred Zink, in 1939. She evidently was married and encouraged him by promissing to divorce her husband and to marry Clarence. Whether he served time for the shooting is not known at this time.

Any information about the members of this family would be appreciated.
