Burrton Woodruff III notes for Frances Alda Eleanor STONE
Her son told me that “Eleanor” was added to her name because Olin wanted her to have that name.
I was told that Frances divorced in about 1935 and left Bob to be raised by Ralph and Alda (she called Bob “Sonny”). Frances went to Tulsa and Oklahoma City to work. Vera and Olin were unhappy that Bob was left with their parents to sponge off them. My informant was Betty Lou Back.
