  RESEARCH	It was difficult to establish Virginia's surname. The obit of her mother Ella Rowlett names a daughter "Mrs. Virginia Clark" of Maryville. From there, a check of the 1930 census locates the Henry & Ella Rowlett family in Holt Co, MO, with daughter Virginia, age 11--the right age to be Virginia Clark, found as the wife of John L. Clark in the 1940 census, with baby Allen.  [5, 6]
  Residence	Sep 1950	Cornelius, Washington County, Oregon, USA   [7]
  	Virginia's father's obituary stated that his daughter "Mrs. Virginia Clark" resided in Cornelius, Oregon.
  Residence	Mar 1963	Wichita, Sedgwick County, Kansas, USA   [8]
  	Bird Rowlett's obituary named sister Virginia Pierson, of Wichita, Kansas.
  Died	9 Mar 1994	Colorado, USA   [3, 4, 9]
  	Database offered death date of 9 March 1992 in Colorado, with no source. SSDI gives the date of March 1994. Likely 9 March 1994.
