Message Board Post:
Mahlon Randall Carlock was my GG grandfather, father to Iva Iona Carlock who was my G
grandmother and mentioned in your posting. Iva did indeed marry a Ferd Miller (or Mueller,
originally from the area of Munich in Germany but changed to Miller later because of WWI),
but later divorced him when their only child, my grandmother, Dorothy May Loretta Miller
(later changed to Hamilton, then to Allen in marriage), was just a toddler. Iva later
married Russell Hamilton and had another child named Harold.
I am the only grandchild of Dorothy. Of her 3 children, all sons, one, Jerry D, survives
today and lives in Indiana.
Because my grandmother was raised by Permitta and Mahlon and was therefore very close to
them, and because I too was raised by my grandmother and was very close to her, I have
heard quite a bit about Permitta Lewis however there was never any mention of a child that
died in childbirth or later.
In addition, I have a Carlock family history book entitled "History of the Carlock
Family and Adventures of Pioneer Americans" from 1929 that lists all of
Permitta's children -- but only 4: Thessaley B, Thorsteine Clifford, James Roscoe and
Iva Iona. My copy has been marked up by my grandmother to add corrections and later
information, but she has not added anything on a 5th child.
