Marriage date: 8 January 1916
Marriage place: Oakland, California, USA
Edward WARE was the child of Unknown WARE and Unknown UNKNOWN

Marriage notes:

"Della's daughter, Edythe, married Ed Ware with no legal divorce from Pat Cease. Della strongly disapproved and voiced her objections to Edythe. Edythe was so afraid her mother would tell her new husband, that they moved to Orland, him leaving a good job to do that. So, imagine Edythe's delight when she found a newspaper clipping from Hiram Graves' daughter, trying to locate her father. It seems Hiram was not legally divorced either. So, Della made him live out in a chicken coop until the matter was resolved." www.kathys-place.com
