Hello Myron. I had never heard of a Julius Kane, and neither have I come across a Kenneth
Kane. Archie and Cora had 6 (*) children, Mark (my grandfather), Bruce, FLoyd, John H,
Helen, and Delbert. They are shown as living together in the 1910 US Census. However,
they divorced and Archie married a divorced Amelia L Carswell (nee Pickhardt) in June
1912. I had heard that Cora had twins, a boy and a girl, sometime in 1911, and that the
baby girl drowned whilst being bathed at approx 8 weeks old. Whether this lead to the
separation I do not know, but Archie put Cora into a mental institution, the baby boy in
an orphanage and up for adoption, as well as some of his older children. I have no
documentation of these events. But I was told by family members that the older children
came back to live with the family after his second marriage, but that the baby boy had
already been adopted out, and I am unsure where I got the name Donald Crill from (he may
well have been Kenneth K!
ane at birth), although I believe this person did have brief contact with his birth
family in later years, and was known as Don. Does this fit with your Kenneth? I have DC
passing in Home, Indiana on 21 Jan 1958. I am intrigued as to whether we are dealing with
the same person here. Please keep me posted and I can be contacted firectly at
pattiesimpson(a)hotmail.com
Kind regards, Pattie Simpson (nee Kane) Albany Western Australia
