'My father was married in his 20's to one of the Presnell girls from
Vincennes. I don't know whether her name was Ava or Ora. Our family was
friends with the Presnells for many years and they visited us in Miami. I
recall visiting them inVincennes. She was a schoolteacher and evidently a lovely person. She died
tragically of pneumonia.' (Alan Drake - 2004)

Margaret had an earlier marriage which didn't work out and which was hushed up.
'I finally learned that my mother who was
quite a beautiful and virtuous young lady from a good family made the
mistake of marrying what in turned out to be a real rounder. He took her to Kansas City on their 'honeymoon' and left her there, high and dry. She
managed to call home and get back to Peoria, but after that, she felt it
necessary to leave, so she went to Chicago and got the job with IC. The
funny thing is that we were close to 'Uncle George and Aunt Mae' from
Chicago. One or the other of them was a sibling of the loser that married my mom,
but they kept up a friendship over the years. ' (Alan Hart Drake 2004)
'My mother at the time [when Claude's first wife died} was doing PR work with Illinois
Central and was sent down to Vincennes to see if she could aid them in any way.
That is when she met my dad, and after a few years, they got married.' (Alan Drake 2004)
