Floyd and Maggie made a baby girl together and married a couple of months after the baby was born in 1908. They were still together in 1910 and her parents lived with them. By 1914 Floyd has another baby on the way with Mabel. Baby due in April. He files for divorce from Maggie on grounds of desertion and divorce is granted in March. He marries the new baby's mother. They stay married. Maggie never remarried and eventually started using her maiden name. The baby girl grew up with her mother. She knew who her father was as he is mentioned in her obituary, but her brothers from his second marriage were not named. She was not mentioned in their obituaries or in her father's obit. Her father was listed in her obituary. Who got the last laugh? Floyd and Maggie's daughter. Maggie died after Floyd. On Maggie's death certificate her daughter listed her mother as married. To Floyd. Even though they were divorced. And he died five years earlier.
