Hi Darrell,
We don't know that yet. But I am working on it. I did find a record of a divorce for
them and am writing to get copies. Perhaps that will show a maiden name for Ida.
Actually I am wondering if she was married twice. The 1920 census has an interesting
listing:
Dewar, Okmulgee Co., Oklahoma
Carnahan, Ida - head - 40 - md - Mo - Manager Hotel
Oscar - husband - 39 - md - Mo - Miner Coal Mine
Neabauer, Opal - step daughter - 14 - Ok-Germany-Tx
Now... who is she the step daughter for - Oscar - Ida - or neither. The birth locations
listed for her father and mother don't match either Ida or Robert Oscar!!!!
Any ideas anyone.
Take care - Emma
