Research Notes (Conflicts/Spelling/Followup)
FOLLOWUP
Marie's birth surname is not known to this database. It was likely Krueger, given her full name on Find A Grave gives a Marie Esther Krueger Cooper (1910-1992). (She is linked in the memorial to Clyde Caswell, who is in this database, and Clyde's "couple's" gravestone includes Marie Cooper in the "spouse" position.) They share the Caswell surname on the marker, but as noted below, she apparently married to James Cooper after Clyde died.
Her memorial on Find A Grave notes she was first married (1928) to Pell John Schroeder (1903-1960), then to Clyde Caswell (1893-1974), then to James R. Cooper (1919-1976). Although Pell was buried in Westminster Memorial Park, Westminster, CA, the other three were interred at Westwood Hills Memorial Park, Placerville, CA; James has plot -70, Clyde has plot -71, and Marie has plot -72. (Was the double plot and marker already purchased? Is that why she was buried next to her second husband, under his surname, rather than her third husband?)
The Find A Grave data is mostly unsourced (Find A Grave memorials are added by friends or family of the deceased), except that Pell and Marie's marriage is implied on a WWII [draft] registration card included for his Find A Grave memorial. In it, "Mrs. Marie Schroder" is gven as the person who will always know Pell's address.
Marie had at least three living children in 1974 (per husband Clyde Caswell's obituary, which identified all three as his stepchildren). They are {private} [obituary-clyde-caswell-1974]
Of these children, the Find A Grave entry for James identifies only two as his. These are {private}. It doesn't mention {private}. Further, the surnames of the sons as given in the obituary are confusing, and don't appear to match the father's surnames as might be expected. The daughter's surname is likely explained by marriage custom.
