Selma Louise Mitchell Forsythe Rowe's parents married in Nacogdoches, Texas on July 31, 1920, after the Feb 1920 US Fed Census was taken. The mother, Irene, died young, so there is no census to show as proof of her living with her children.

By 1930, her father was remarried, living with the 2 daughters he had from his first marriage. ------ (comment by contributor Leah Bryan)
