In the 1910 census it was noted that Joseph had been married twice. I found a marriage
for Joseph Loudermilk to Laura Jane Hagle in Knox, Starke Co. IN 15 Mar 1873.
On the LaPorte Co. site it shows that two obits for Loudermilk are available for ordering.
One is for Albert M. Loudermilk, age 65. Obit was in paper June 13, 1945. Also, Guy
Loudermilk, age 60. Obit was in paper Sept. 12, 1941.
Clara Loudermilk was born Sept. 26, 1884 in Starke Co. IN. to Joseph and Caroline Clemmons
Loudermilk.
