Comment Detail: Source identifies Louis H. Border as the husband of Belle S. Border. The census record notes that Belle was 60 and Louis was 75 at their first marriage. This is known to be wrong with respect to at least Belle, but it would correspond well to this marriage, suggesting about 1921 or 1922.
