I foud this. Mary says she is white in both places, not Indian, and her name is
"Mary". She may have lied about the Indian blood, she may not have had th
eotion of putting "Mixed" or someone else may have given the information and
taken a guess. Anyone named "May" is going to get recorded as "Mary"
at least one time out of five.

They all have him dying in 1972. Norm Rogers has a note saying his marriage ended in
divorce. Again, Mary/May may have lied about being widowed or the enumerator may have made
a guess as to why Harold wasn't around.
