Misc. Notes
Eugene is listed with his parents in 1930 and 1940.
He enlisted in the military twice: 17 May 1946 - 4 May 1947 and 16 Aug 1950 - 22 Jan 1951
Strangely, it appears that Eugene (20, IN) is listed in the 1950 census for Indianapolis with a wife Barbara (20, IN) between his two Army enlistments, and before starting his family in California. He is listed as a driver for a Florist.
Even more strange is that higher on the page is Laverne M. Wells (39, IN) which would appear to be his mother... but she is listed alone as widowed
While in California after the Army, he had a family with Kathy Dodd, then was married to Gloria Cole in Ohio. He was apparently married to Gloria twice. It appears that they married initially about 1955, and then were remarried in 1974.
