This marriage ended in divorce, or with Mary's death, sometime between 1940 when the couple was enumerated for the 1940 federal census and 1947 when Lewis was married to Muriel L. Foster. In ca. 1942 - I believe March 6, 1942 - Lewis and Mary gave birth to Linda Jane Vander Kolk. She graduated from high school in 1960:
