Notes
- Family genealogies report Maire's middle name as Maxine. She apparently went by Dumond, from her stepfather, since this is the name reported on her marriage record. I have not found official adoption records.
1940 Federal Census, Arkansas County, Arkansas, 4 May, LaGrue Township, District 1-17, page 20A, Road to Cuba, Hse #377, Rents $5
Dumond, Luther Head M W 54 Grade 6 b Ark same place in 1935 Farm Operator
Dumond, Emma Wife F W 51 Grade 4 b Ark same place in 1935
Teal, Marie Stepdau F W 11 Single Grade 3 b Ark Father b Okla Mother b Ark same place in 1935
Marie's age in the 1940 census, as well as her brother Jimmie of the same age, indicates birth in about 1929, a year after the reported death of her father in February 1928!. However, her age at the time of marriage indicates birth a year earlier.

Scott Howard Elder
Age 22, Birth Year abt 1924
Residence DeWitt, Arkansas, Arkansas
Spouse's Name Marie Du Mond [Dumond, name of stepfather; birth name Teal]
Spouse's Age 18
Spouse's Residence DeWitt, Arkansas, Arkansas
Marriage Date 27 Apr 1946 Arkansas County
Marriage License Date 27 Apr 1946
Marie's reported age at the time of marriage in April 1946 was 18, making her birth in April 1928 or before. This goes some way to resolving the discrepancy of another reported birth date for her. Her age in the 1940 census above is 11 years, making her birth in about 1929, over a year after her father's official date of death in February 1928.
Her brother Jimmie, who is also age 11 and thus apparently a twin, is reported on his gravestone as born in April 1929. If the age in Marie's marriage record is correct, the reported birth date is a year late. Going by Marie's age and marriage date in April 1946, Marie and Jimmie were born only 2 months after their father's death, resolving the conflict.
