Charles E. Weatherwax 1881-1945 correction

PG487 3096 (2726) Charles Edward Weatherwax
The following marriage corrections apply. He 1st married Louisa Peria on 26 May 1904 in Cuyahoga co. OH. Sometime before USC1910 they were divorced.
His 2nd marriage was on 5 Sep 1910 to Minnie L.Lant again in Cuyahoga co. OH. That marriage record clearly indicates that Charles was divorced. In USC 1910 he is living as a single male on 9 May 1910 in Portage,Summit OH. So his divorce was before that date. I have not yet located the divorce record.

The Weatherwax Genealogy 1710-1930 Book corrections

Recent research indicates a correction needs to be made concerning: +4360 (2715) Douglas Eugene Weatherwax found on pages 668 and 791 of my book.
His mother was Nancy Pearl Weathers; dau of Samuel H. Weathers.
She married1st Charles D. Fusha c1926 they had a son Douglas Fusha b: 13 Deb 1927 in Lauderdale co., AL.
before 1930 she divorced Charles D. Fusha and appears in USC1930, living with her father, and son Douglas Fusha.
She then married: Conrad James Weatherwax on 21 Jun 1931 in Lodgepole,Cheyenne NE. This information came to light because another researcher sent me an obit I had not seen. It clearly established that James Weatherwax is his half brother and his father was Charles Fusha. Further research now confirms he was adopted or switched to Douglas Eugene Weatherwax after his mothers marriage to Conrad J. Weatherwax. He continued to use the Weatherwax surname the rest of his life and his descendants carry on with the Weatherwax surname.
