"In 2003 I exchanged several emails with Bruce Wilkins, a great-grandson of Charles Everett Wilkins through his second marriage to Myra Mae Pierce. Bruce said that Lucile M. Kitzmiller married Charles Everett Wilkins on 21 May 1910 in Havre, Chouteau Co., Montana. He went on to say that Charles and Lucile were divorced on 4 January 1913. At first this seems hard to believe. According to the 1910 Census, just three weeks before their marriage, Lucile was living with her parents in Macoupin Co., Illinois and Charles was living in Montana. However, Bruce backs up his assertion with a very clear copy of their marriage license. Bruce goes on to say that Charles lived much of his early life in Macoupin County, Illinois and that is where he met Lucile. There can be no confusion as to this being our Lucile M. Kitzmiller; the marriage license lists her parents, David Kitzmiller and Lou Vaughn.

Five years after Charles married Lucile, he married Myra Mae Pierce. They had a number of children."

     Cornelius Carl Wilkins was also known as "Nelis" as per SSDI. He was born on 18 February 1898 at Moral Twp., Shelby Co., IN. He was the son of John W. Wilkins and Mary Jane Curry. Cornelius Carl Wilkins married Viola Regina DeVault, daughter of William Walker DeVault and Estella Mae Pence, on 29 August 1925. License date. Ceremony by Oliver C. Hunt

Online genealogies indicate a marriage location of Dayton, Ohio, however the license was issued in Wayne County, Indiana.
