Notes for FRANCIS MAUDE BOLTJES:
The following information is from Edith Kitchen:
Maude was raised by Grandma Boltjes because her mother died when she was very young. It would have been very unusual in those days for a father to raise a child alone. She knew her dad but did not live with him even after he married a second time. Maude and Arch were divorced March 20, 1928.
