Notes;
This is the last I have on Curtis Chamberlin (son of D.W. Chamberlin). Things get more complicated at this point. I found a few on-line family trees that show Curtis Chamberlin's wife to be Lillie "Rounds" (b. IA). Lillie and Curtis had two known children: Gordon O. Chamberlin and Edith M. (who married Ian(?)Price and had a son named Gordon). In the 1920 census of Kansas City, Wyandotte Co., KS, Lillie is remarried to a man named Pleasant Wheeler. Gordon Chamberlin, 33, b. IA, is listed in this household as Pleasant Wheeler's "widowed" step-son. Edith Price, b. IA, is listed as his "divorced" step-daughter. Also livng in this household are Glenn Chamberlin, 12, step-grandson b. OK and step-grand-son, Gordon Price, 4 yrs and 3 mos.
It appears that Gordon O. Chamberlin, son of Curtis Chamberlin and Lillie Rounds, had three wives. The first "Medie" (per census), gave birth to his son Glenn (ca. 1908). The second Lorena "Rena" Cora Gracey, gave him two sons named Donald Orion Chamberlin and Cecil Owen Chamberlin, both born between 1915 and 1916 in Beaver Co., OK. Gordon Chamberlin went to live in Garfield Co., MT. He appears there in the 1930 census with a third wife, "Edna J." Pleasant Wheeler and Lillie (Gordon's mother)are living in Garfield Co., as well (in the 1930 census).
