Carl Wallace Farris parents are Max Edward 'Ed' Farris and May Edna Henderson. After an indiscretion on her part Ed declared an informal divorce with local law officials, and sometime later he married Edna's sister Erie Ellen Henderson. This can be seen in the 1930 census where Erie has been married to Ed for 16 years, and so this means that the marriage would have occurred around 1914 just after the split from his first marriage.

Erie then raised her sister's son Carl Wallace Farris as her own. May Edna later re married James Demumber Riley and even claimed in the 1930 census that she was married to him at 15 so no strangely no history of her previous marriage with Ed is shown.

None of this is meant to be disrespectful, it is just documenting what family members have stated who were 'in the know' of these events.
