  • Notes 
    • Merritt was missing in action in the Korean War in 1950 / 1951 and I was later adopted by Elaine's sister, Dorothy (Chester) Stewart (technically my aunt) and Ray Stewart. I had lived with them since the age of two. I grew up in Round Lake, Illinois, and moved to Mundelein, graduating in 1964. Six months after graduation, I got married to a Navy guy, Dave Matthews, and moved to Millington, Tennessee. About a year later, Dave was stationed aboard the USS Saratoga out of Mayport, Florida, and I moved down there. My oldest daughter, Debbie, was just a little tyke. In 1966 my folks brought me back to Illinois just in time to give birth to my son in Waukegan, Illinois. Dave was still out on ship.

      Listed in 1930 Illinois Census, Cook County, Proviso Twp, Forest Park Village (ED# 2303B, Page 23A)
