Notes

• If the information on Robert's son's birth record is correct, he is Robert Jarmon Senior.  I have not discovered if father or son had a middle name.

  Robert Junior Jarmon
  Birth 20 Feb 1937 Los Angeles County
  Mother's Maiden Name Young
  
  Robert and his wife Novella (Young) are listed in Los Angeles County voter registration rolls.  They are the only Jarmons in the county rolls.  In 1932, Robert is listed alone, then in the 1932 rolls, Novella is listed at the same residence address.  This indicates they married sometime between the two registrations, in about 1933, unless he registered to vote and she did not.
  
  Note the designations at the end of the listings, which tell us which party they registered with.  DS stands for Democratic Socialist.  Robert changed from DS to Democratic Party after he and Novella married.

  In 1934, Jarmon's wife is listed as Movella, but in 1938 it is Novella.

  In 1942, Robert is still the only Jarmon listed in the LA County voter rolls.  There is no listing for Novella this time.  She must have missed the registration, because she shows up again in 1946.  I note Robert is also at a different address and now working as a janitor.  He is now a Republican.  They are still the only Jarmons registered in the county.

  In 1946, they are both registered at the same address we had for Robert in 1942.  Novella is still a Democrat, even though Robert has been registered as a Republican since 1942.  Novella is listed as Movella here.  This registration does not list jobs.

  1948 rolls are an exact duplication of 1946.  Because Novella is showing up more times now as Movella, I am thinking maybe that was the correct form of her name rather than Novella.

  In 1950 I don't find either of them on the voter rolls for Los Angeles County.  But in 1952, they are back, still canceling out each other's vote for opposite parties.
