OTHA'S BIGAMY:
Probably like many other men during the depression, Otha "remarried" without getting a divorce first. He falsely stated on his 1943 Ohio marriage license to Maxine that his current/previous wife, Frances, was deceased when she was not. He died in Akron, Ohio rarely seeing his first family again.
