Lena, Harold was not mentioned as a survivor on his mother's funeral card but her Step
Daughter, Dorothy, was mentioned.
However, there is a Cathaleen V. Shreve that died in 1982 without any survivors who could
have been her daughter, Cathleen. So I am not as sure. Perhaps there was fallout in the
family.

I am not certain but they had relatives in Morganfield, KY. The normal migration pattern
was from Union County to Evansville so they were most probably from Kentucky. I would
take a look in Union County, KY.
Let me know what you find.
