Dad had four siblings and two step-siblings! Mary Cook married Grover Clifton Liles but he passed soon after they were married...around 1912. She remarried Charles Essig around 1914 and they had two children, Helen and _____.
From dad's side of the family we have:
From Sister Opal Robinson
One cousin, Kathryn Robinson (Deceased). "Kat" never married and lived in Paramount until she finally moved to a senior care facility. After her parents passed, Sue and I took care of her until she needed to move to get full time care. She passed at 93 of a heart attack and was never sick in her life.
She has a site on our website devoted to her.

From Sister Edith Parchman
One Cousin, Claudia O'Toole. Claudia lives in Paramount just a few miles away but we seldom see each other as she has a large family and is quite bust with church activities. It generally takes a death or some other major event for us to get together.
She just turned 75 in 2019 and is six months older than me. She has four son's and a passel of grand and great granschildren.
From Alma Mall
Aunt Alma and Normal Mall had three children...three cousins. Aunt Alma began having kids well ahead of her siblings (Paul, Edith, and Opal) so were were never that close as they were fifteen years older than me. While we got together on family occasions, they were adults when we were still running around as kids.
Norman and Alma would come out to visit and Mom and Dad would take them around town. This was our visit to CBS Television City just behind the Farmer's Market in Los Angeles.
