In the 1931 Tribal census, Vera is reported among the children who died within the year. Her date of death was 17 June 1930. Under "Degree of Blood" Vera is reported as "1/4p." A footnote reports that his designatoi means 1/4 plus. A 16-year-old boy named Quanah Parker is also reported this way. There are the only two on the page with this designation, where others have f (full). Vera's father was 3/4 Comanche and his mother was 1/2. That would make Vera 5/8.
