In 1929, step-daughter Emma birthed a daughter, Vyvian Alice Holmes, whose obituary identifies her step-father Federick C. Holmes as her father.].

3. Fact: The evidence establishes that Rhoda Alice Kelley married Howard C. Lingenfelter in 1902, and he died in 1918. Following his death, Rhoda became the second wife of Frederick C.
