Dora through Everett are children of Harvey's first wife Margaret Caudill. I do not know who Maggie's third living child was; any child of her first marriage, to William Lawson in Sep 1899, should be no more than 10 years old.
Notes for Margaret ("Maggie") Baldridge
I cannot find a death record for her. She may be the Maggie Sexton buried in Prather-Stamper Cemetery, with no birthdate, and the death date 3 Jan 1919.
