Notes for Theophilus & Lee Ora (Family)
This is a second marriage for both Theophilus and Lee Ora. Theophilus was previously married to Octavia Bennett, a cousin, who died in 30 Dec 1903. They had two children. Lee Ora was previously married to Sandy Allgood, who died in 1902. They had three children. I am not recording those families because this couple is in my database only to document the parents of Cordilla Bennett who married Lewis Kendall, a distant cousin of mine.
