Howard,
I received a copy of the application for SS for Thelma Jane Fugate Baize. (Born 1902)These records name Thelma's Father as George W. Fugate and Mother as Ida Meller (It appears that Miller is spelled Meller on this record although she may just have not dotted he 'i'.John Charles (my dad) was born 12/23/1921.At that time, Fred was 21 years old. (Born 1900)Fred's birth place was listed as Cleaton Kentucky. My grandparents were divorced at some point and Dad lived with Fred and a stepmother in Ky.John (my dad) did have a step sister that he spoke of. My father had a younger brother (Morton).This brother died when he was about 3 years old.My grandmother(Thelma)had two sisters, Lorrine and Myrtle. My family was rather tight lipped about the past.However, I do remember the mention of Martha-but I had always thought that was my Dad's step sister.I can't explain the name difference from Martha to Thelma.With the same parents, Thelma and Martha couldn't have been cousins but would have had to have been sisters.
