Jean Viola Makin was born 15 September 1905 in Johnstown, Cambria County, Pennsylvania. The first child of John E. Makin and Annie (Gindlesperger) Makin.

In April of 1910, Viola who was 5 years old was living on Forest Avenue, Johnstown, Pennsylvania with her parents, John Makin and Annie Makin. Along with her two siblings: Blanch, aged 4 and Kenneth, age 1.

On April 8, 1917, in Johnstown, PA, Jean's mother, Annie (Gindlesperger) Makin, died when she was only 11 years old. Shortly after the death of her mother, Jean Viola's father John moved himself and the three children (including Jean) to Lima, Ohio.

At the age of 13, Jean was first married to a man from Lima, Ohio. Although the marriage record states she was 16 years old, she was not. Her father signed for her marriage to Leo C. Fox. Jean who went by Viola Makin at the time was married in Monroe County, Michigan on 26 October 1918 to Leo Fox.

By 1920, Viola Fox is listed as being 15 years old, living with her 40 year old father, John Makin, and her huband Leo Fox at the time being 20 years old. Both Leo Fox and John Makin were working as moulders at the Foundry.

Jean Viola Makin at some point around 1921 leaves her husband Leo Fox in Lima, Ohio.

Although it seems the now 17 year old Viola is not yet divorced from Leo Fox, she marries Kermit Otto Lischkge on 18 September 1922 in Detroit, Wayne, Michigan. Her name listed on the record is Jene V Makin.

By 1924, There are several newspapers giving a Legal Notice for Viola Fox that her husband Leo Fox is seeking a divorce. The Lima Gazette and Lima Republican 11 Jan 1924 stated the following: "Leo C Fox accuses Mrs. Viola Fox of associating with other men and alleges she refuses to abide by her marital vows. He says he doesnt know where his wife is."

From the same newspaper on 29 Feb 1924 it states
"LEGAL NOTICE
In the court of common please, Allen County, Ohio.
Leo C. Fox, plaintiff, vs. Viola Fox, defendant.
Viola Fox, whose present place of residence is unknown, is hereby notified that Leo C. Fox has filed his petition against her for divorce on the ground of three years wilful absence, in case number 21586, of the court of common pleas, Allen County, Ohio, and that said cause will be for hearing on or after the 6th day of March, 1924.
