Notes for Lorena M. Dehart
In the 1901 school census, the twins were listed as Millie and Martha. In the 1910 census, they are listed as Lorena and Eugena. Since I do not know which twin was Martha and which was Millie, I am just entering them both with the middle initial M.
The SSDI lists Lorene Turner, born 7 Nov 1895, died Jan 1966, last residence Kentucky.
The Kentucky death index lists Lorene Turner, age 70, died 20 Jan 1966 in Rowan Co., residence same.
