I'm looking for any information anyone has on this woman. I believe she is my
grandmother.
Date of Birth: 2/3/1907 in TX
Died 11/24/1951 in Los Angeles, CA (Obit listing is for Madeline Neville Rabe).
Mother's Maiden Name is Schilds, I believe born in GA.
Father's Name is Calhoun, I believe born in TX.
Madeline married Howard Thomas James in Los Angeles, CA before 1930. He was a lawyer. He
was born in Oregon on 12/23/1896, I think in Ashland.
I believe she had 2 children: Howard Thomas James (later changed his name to Thomas Howard
James), born 9/7/1928 and died 2/9/1988 in Riverside CA, and Darlene Madeline James, born
11/7/1933, still living. Both children were born in Los Angeles.
Howard and Madeline divorced sometime after 1933. I'm not sure when. Howard then
married Noma Vyrle Pollett. Howard was also married prior to Madeline (I think her name
may have been Hortense) and had another son, also named Howard Thomas James. He is older
than my father, but is not listed with Madeline and Howard on the 1930 Census. I am
looking for him too. I believe his date of birth is 6/23/1925.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
