Notes
- Family sources list her as Ocy. It appears the actual formal name wasOsa, as recorded in the 1910 and 1920 censuses. She is listed in 1920as Osa I Jenkins. This matches the pattern of the name Asa beingcommonly pronounced Acy in the Jenkins family.
In 1930, Osa is listed as head of the household and a widow, living inEarlsboro, Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma. This seems to conflict,however, with the information about James Everett Jenkins, which I hadfound before locating this 1930 census record. The California DeathIndex indicates he moved to California, supposedly with his family,and died in Los Angeles in 1963.

We do known from direct family sources that Everett was still alive inthe 1950s. My mother Lou Ila Jenkins provided me with information shehad written down from my father's mother Jennie Jenkins, Everett'sstep-mother. The address at that time was in Bellflower, California.These notes on family members did not include details about Osa andthe children, information which I obtained from censuses later.
"Everett married Ocy McClanahan, whose parents are believed to havelived on a farm west of Marlow. Everett subsequently moved toMountain View where he later worked with his brother Ben in his drycleaning shop."
