  "I would assume that Mollie and Steve married in IT since the older children were born there. Bessie and Jessie were twins and I think Jessie must have died in infancy. Bessie was blind and ended up in a home for unwed mother's in CA. I have had contact with her grandson who was adopted from the home. He is an Air Force flight surgeon. He seems to think that Steve [Jr] ended up in CA, but I have found no trace of him after he was mentioned in the 1910 letter written by Duncan."
