Lou, according to Kay Sparks Wildenthaler's obituary, Gerald Lee died as an infant. We don't know if Gerald was born before or after Kay. Everett and Elizabeth were married in 1927 but Kay Carol was born 12 years later on 26 Jul 1939 in Frankfort, Clinton County, Indiana. Since, Kenneth was born 28 Jul 1936 in Owensboro they moved to Franklin between 28 Jul 1936 and 26 Jul 1939. I don't know when Everett and Elizabeth moved to to Gallion but Gerald could have been born in Owensboro, KY, Frankfort, IN or Gallion, OH.
Do you know where and when Everett, Jr. died?

Mike I really think he was born in Owensboro & was their first child. They came to Owensboro almost every year when I was growing up. My Aunt Emma & Uncle Kenny who was a brother to my dad Winter & Elizabeth Gough Sparks. They always stayed at Emma & Kenneth house. That was where my Grandad Victor & my dad Winter lived also. My brother & I would be there the whole time they were there because that was the only time we got to play with our cousins. we had great fun & Emma & Kenneth took us up to Ohio to visit several times. Also when they lived in Indiana they always came every summer. I loved to listen to all of them when we were together. I think I would have remembered if they ever talked about a baby because me being the youngest my ears would have perked up. I think it is possible that maybe Gerald was a full term baby.
I will try to check at the cemetery where Some of Everet's family is buried. They are buried next to my dad, grandparents & great grandparents are buried. If I find out anything I will let you know.
Thank you for always helping me out when I ask.
Take care, Lou
