    Two children are missing form this list that are reported in censuses with this famliy.  Daughter Pearl and son Charles M were reproted in the 1900 census.  Charles is reported there as born in Colorado.  Also reproted born in Colorado was James and Calvin, the next two chidlren.  In some later sources, Pearl, born before Izella, is also reported born in Colorado, but in the 1900 census, she and Izella, and the other chdilren, wre all reported born in Texas.

    James Walker is reported in the 1920 census in Weatherford, Texas, with his young wife Berdie and two chidlren.  Other sources give us her name as Verdie.  His son Jim and daughter Pearl are living next door.  James' wife Berdie is 4 years younger than his daughter Pearl.  Note that Pearl is not listed in the birth list above.  On Pearl's death certificate she was reported as Pearl Maude Walker, born on 25 December 1886 in Custer County, Colorado.

    In 1920 Jim is still single, but Pearl is reported as married, even though her husband James Martin is not in this household.

    Pearl Martin is reported as married, but her husband James is not in the home.  They did divorce at some time before 1925 when James married again in Oklahoma.  They might have been already divorced at census time, or separated before the divorce.
