Justin married Clarina Howard.
Gene Zubrinksy wrote this in his footnotes:
"Clarina divorced him at a time when divorce was rare, especially initiated by the woman. She claimed "extreme cruelty" as the cause. Legend has it that her father-in-law Cyrus, and some of her brother-in-laws stood up for her during the divorce proceedings against their own son/brother. We believe this bitter divorce propelled her into her career as a suffragette, and also explains why we have almost no records on Justin". (written by Karen to Gene)
NOTE: Justin's father was not Ira, but Cyrus. He had a brother Ira.
