Correction: Claude, not Claudia

In my post, Puzzle Pieces, I incorrectly identified the first child of William Bazel and Bertha A. Sparlin as a daughter. "8. Not long afterward, William married his third wife, Bertha A., and set up a household in Barry, MO, where they had a daughter, Claudia."

Although the name is transcribed as Claudia from the census, their first born was actually a son, Claude Lester Sparlin. This information is obtained from his WWI draft registration card.
