It should be noted that he was survived by two sisters and two brothers. He appears on the 1920 census with his father and siblings but is not on the 1930 census with his father, stepmother, and siblings. Since his mother died from complications during his birth, it is possible he went to live with his maternal grandparents and had no further contact with his father or siblings.
