Patty - I for one think you are on the right track with Lorene. Her California death
Index says she d Oct 1969 in Contra Costa (as did Harold) & she was born 21 Jan 1913
in KANSAS, father's name not given, mother's name Ensminge (Ensinger possibly)
I see you have a tree at Ancestry - if you go to Ancestry & plug in Lorene Karst 1913
KS 1969 CA the CDI & SSDI will pop up. With her death info you could send for a cert
from CA but it would be much faster & cost less to send for her original Social
Security application. She would have had to put her date & place of birth & her
parents & husband's names on it. Click on the SSDI record for her & then, on
the left side choose "send for original application", scroll down to the bottom
& you can generate a letter to SSDI which will already have her Social # printed on it
& will be all ready for you to sign & mail with a check to them.
There is only ONE Lorene Karst born in KANSAS in the census - 1930 she is in Larimer
Colorado as a maid, in 1920 she is is Larimer CO with her parents Alex F Karst, mother
Rose, & siblings Leland, Carol, Elsie & Raymond. So I think it is very possible
she is the one you are looking for.
There are two trees at Ancestry that give some information for Robert, brother of Harold,
& his wife & children - this is "Ev's Family Tree" and another with
info for Bernice M Calkins, sister of Harold, at "Long Family Tree." It also
appears that Harold had a second wife. Plug in Harold Calkins 1913 CO & 1995 CA &
hit the tree tab & scroll for those 2 trees.
I hope this helps a bit :) Vicky in AZ
