George and Margaret's daughter may have been adopted. She was apparently their only child, and wasn't born until 11 years after George and Margaret were married. The 1920, 1940 adn 1950 censuses show her birth in Missouri while the 1930 census shows her birth in Kansas but all evidence suggests George and Margaret never lived outside of Washington. Lee Pound, while visiting family members in the area in the 1967, was told George and Margaret had no children even though Verla and her husband were living in Washington. Her obituary makes no mention of her parents.18,19,20,21,22
