From contributor Donna Kuhlman:
Harold was married twice: first to Harriet Malinda Rittman, Aug. 14, 1931, Jennings Co., Indiana. They had one child, an infant girl who only lived a few months. Not sure when they divorced, but he next married Yvonne Lydia Truex, Aug. 10, 1935, also Jennings Co., Indiana. They had four children, named in his obit. I think he was eventually divorced from Yvonne, as she was not mentioned as a survivor in his obit.
