                                          daughter of Leonard Orville McGowan and Lois Johnson);
                              divorced 17 Oct 1945 Wayne Co, MI; divorce record;

                           Note: According to the divorce record for James and Ruth, they were married in 1939, then divorced in 1945,
                                     yet there is clearly a marriage record for James and Dorothy (see below under marriage #2) in 1943 (although
                                     they both stated it was their first marriage). Since Ruth was his wife's name when he died, we assume they remarried
                                     at some point.(?) Also, records state Ruth as the mother of the following children, and the children were all born after 1945.
                                     We would appreciate any input or clarification, as we want it presented accurately.)
