If it may help you:
1920 census, Shelby Co.,IN
Wasson,Carl-32;born IN,parents same
wife-Lena Mae-25;born IN,parents same
son-Roy Chester-4;born IN
Still in Shelby County in 1930, with the addition of daughter Martha,age 3y 6m.
Carl registered for the WWI draft in 1917 in Decatur Co.,IN giving his birth date as July 2,1887-born in Flat Rock,IN. The same information was given in 1942 when he reg. for the WWII draft in Shelby County.
He is listed in Shelby Co. birth records as being the son of William Wasson and Martha Grafton-other records spell her surname as "Crafton".
Carl is said to have died on Jan.29,1956 in Shelby Co.and Lena is shown to have died in Jan.of 1981 in Bartholomew Co.
Seems likely that Effie Faye Sampson was born abt.1922 to Orville Sampson and Monta Cooper; she being the daughter of Samuel Cooper and Julia Fowler Cooper. This based on census records and other folks family trees; Effie & family were also in Shelby Co.,IN in 1930.
