Lola Mary Longmire married Wallace William Longmire (Sr.) in March 1922, in Walla Walla, Washington [state], USA. They were the parents of at least two sons and one daughter, Dorothy Jean Longmire.
Dorothy Jean Longmire according to records was born on Saturday, May 8, 1926. Strangely, Dorothy Jean Longmire—after she eloped with her US Air Force pilot husband—“Dorothy L (Longmire) Wells” told everyone her birthday was May 5, 1926. (Why? Maybe to make it harder to find her birth records which might have tipped someone/somewhere off about her Catholic background?)
Perhaps it had something to do with the phrase “Wednesday's child is full of woe”? (A silly joke by me as May 5, 1926 was a Wednesday.)
