    I am trying to locate information on Charles and Georgia Keltner Anderson who I know lived in Longview at least from 1943-1945 or so I know they had quite a few children. Some posible names of the children may have been:
    Bob/Robert
    David
    Maury
    Audrey
    Beverly - May have been born 6/14/1942
    Darlene
    Lois - may have been born 9/18/1945 but I am not sure because i was also told Gloria was the youngest
    Dorothy
    Gloria - Born 9/9/1943
    From what I was told Charles left Georgia and she was unable to take care of all of the children and some were placed for adoption (I know for sure Gloria was) and possibly 2 of the others. I have been told Georgia remarried but I have no information about that. I have also been told that Dorothy is married to a James Todd but I have not been able to locate her. Could anyone who has any information no matter how small please contact me.

    Gladys Marie Slater Hodges ELLEFSON: b. May 20, 1899 in Portland OR and died in (?) in April 1978. I am uncertain the exact day death in April- I got the death date and month from the SS death index. What else I know that may be useful: She lived in Portland, Multnomah Co, OR area I believe most of her life, at least till about 1950 or later...? Her SS death benefit went to the address of Woodland, Cowlitz Co, WA. However, I am not sure if that was her last address and went to her husband (if alive) or if was just the address of some other family member who took care of her final arrangements. For all I know she may of died in OR, but I can't find evidence yet of that. I am sure ELLEFSON is her married name. She was adopted as a child along with her brother Wendall Slater and raised by Elizbeth (Turpin) and Leander Hodges, of OR. I do not know if she had any kids from this marriage or not. Any help greatly apprecitated.
