    Robert Thomas updated his personal file for the Bureau of Pensions

    This update in 1915 included a list of his living children and their birthdates. The "Robert Thomas Pension Letter dated 5/8/09" was indeed signed by Robert Thomas, but the body of the letter was evidently written by his wife, Addie Davenport. Compare the script of the word "Thomas" in the "I Robert Thomas" at the beginning of the "Pension Letter" with the script of "Thomas" in the signature of Addie Thomas near the top of page two of her pension application. The body of Addie Davenport's pension application was written by a clerk, probably in her lawyer's office.

    Donna Everett recalled, May 2008:

    "How about that picture of Louis and Mamie fishing on that boat with her in high heeled shoes!

    That was the way she was. She also was very well known around this town [Indianapolis, Marion, IN] for all her hats. She had more hats than some of the local department stores."
