*****************************************
It looks like Perry Cossairt is the half brother of your William. It also looks like
William remarried after the death of his wife in Califonia. William & Rena had four
daughters, one born in Indiana, two born in Michigan (wasn't able to locate the 1910
census of them in Michigan) and their youngest born in California. It also seems by 1930
that William and Blanche are separated since one is living in San Diego and the other is
in Long Beach. Hope this helps. Karen
