Notes for William Irvin & Flora Ethel (Family)
Since Flora’s obituary listed her as Flora E. (Ingle) Caudill Miers, but Irvin outlived her by 5 years, they must have divorced and she remarried.
Census
1940 census of Henry Co., Indiana, New Castle ward 4, ED 33-22A, enumerated 18 April, lists on p. 13A as family #272, at 1602 D. Avenue:
Caudill, Irvin, 27, farming; Flora, wife, 18. Both born in Kentucky, living in rural Rown Co., Ky in 1935.
It must be an apartment building, because there are six families at the same street address, including Flora’s uncle Flem Ingle with his wife Mertie, and two of Flem’s adult sons with their wives and children.
The City Directory of New Castle, Indiana for 1949 lists Irvin W. Caudill with wife Flora E. living at 2514 S. 20th St.
