    NOTE_RESEARCH Uncertain about his marriage(s).

    1942 WWII Draft reg names wife Jenny Marie Gillmor.
    1940 census names wife "Jessica Gillmor," but they are living next to B. C. Woodruff born in Iowa.
    1920 Crawford Co IA census reflects B. C. Woodruff household with wife Martha born in Wisconsin, daughter Jennie age 17 (born abt. 1903). This is consistent with the "Jessica" enumerated with iIa in 1940.

    It seems likely that "Jessica" Gillmor is the same as the "Jennie Marie Gillmor" named in 1942 WWII draft reg.

    A Marie Howarth Lyon was born around the same time, died in Silver Springs Md 1996, married to Henry Arthur Lyon, NOT the same woman,.

      No census or other data indicates that they had children together. Although Ira married again, it appears that he had no issue. (Unconfirmed.)
    Divorced Between 1926-1932 
    • 1932 George Mason and Mrs. Marie Mason listed in California Voter's records for Santa Clara Co

      1926, George M. Mason listed Santa Clara Co--no Mrs. Marie Mason.
