    In 1920 Lena and two of her grown brothers were still single and living in their parents' household.  Several brothers had established their own households nearby and her sister Frances C Weeks was reported 3 houses above them on the same page.  Lena's middle initial is reported this year as O instead of C.

    It appears Lena never married.  Her grave has her last name as Spann.  The 1930 census reported her still single and in her father's household, with his second wife, married about a year after the death of Lena's mother Susan Jane Berryhill.
