There is an error in the maiden name of Violet Verdell Kohls Knapp. It was KOHLS (not Kohn) and she was the daughter of Edwin (Ted) Elmer Kohls and Alvena (Baltes) Kohls.
A photo of Violet as a young girl, and other members of the Kohl family are shown in the Kohls Family Album on the Clayton co. Website (link below)
