*********************************************
Not sure if this is your Samuel Deckard:
Indiana Marriage Index 1845-1920
Samuel Deckard (b: Oct. 23, 1874)
m: July 29, 1935 - Tippecanoe Co., IN (Bk. M-48, pg. 423)
May Rawley (b: April 27, 1898)
***********************************************
Based on this census info, Clara died/divorced sometime after the 1920 census and Samuel
died sometime after the 1930 census, possibly after 1935 is the above marriage record is
the right Samuel Deckard. Wasn't able to locate any burial or death information.
Hope this information helps. Karen
