Notes - I am pretty sure that Thomas S Ling and Lily Reynolds had only had the one child - Calvin. I hadn't seen anything indicating that there was any other child other than Calvin. I have Thomas S and Calvin's obit and nothing is mentioned about another child/sibling who may have died at a young age. Also on the 1910 census it shows that Lily has one child and one child is alive.
I noticed the 1910 census - and to me (not that I am an expert on writing), it looks like "Alvin C" I am wondering if the Ling's may have said "Calvin" and the census take thought that they said Alvin and the Ling's indicated with a "C" - and the census taker figured that was the middle initial???
I have that Calvin's dob was 9 Nov 1904 - I found that from Social Security Death Index and California Deaths, along with dod 5 Jan 1990. The obit that I have is from the Montezuma Republican. Calvin had two daughters - Barbara Ling who died 26 Jan 2004 (I found her obit on Ancestry's message board) and Doris Ling Luna.
It appears that Calvin was married twice - I have Ellen Hanson as his first wife and the mother of his children. She died in 1987 in Calif. He must have remarried a Emily L Peters, but I do not have any information on her... Lisa Wooldridge
