In Response To: Rhoades, Rhodes (Robyn)

Robyn:

The listings below may be of some help. I'm sorry I didn't find them the first time through.

From the 1920 Federal census, City of Ottumwa, Wapello county, Iowa.

Brockert, Henry C., head, aged 42, born Iowa, parents born Iowa, Laborer for the railroad.
Brockert, Sarah, wife, aged 39, born Missouri, father born Missouri, mother born Iowa
Brockert, Edward, son, aged 11, born Iowa
Brockert, Henry N., son, aged 9, born Missouri
Brockert, Lillian M., dau, aged 7, born Iowa
Brockert, Dorothy, dau, aged 4 9/12, born Missouri
Rhodes, Myrtle M., niece, aged 17, born Iowa

From the 1930 Federal census, Wakenda, Carroll County, Missouri.

Brockert, Clarence, head, aged 52, divorced, born Iowa, parents born Iowa.
Brockert, Eddie, son, aged 22, born Iowa
Brockert, Henry, son, aged 19, born Missouri
Brockert, Lillian, dau, aged 17, born Iowa
Brockert, Dorothy, aged 14, dau, aged 14, born Missouri
Glandon, James, aged 28, relationship unreadable, born Iowa, parents born Missouri
Glandon, Arlene, wife of James, aged 19, born Kansas. they have been married for 2 years.

I am guessing that James Glandon is some relation to Henry Clarence Brockert, My records show a considerable number of Glandon families in Mahaska and Appanoose counties and some Glandon families in Wapello.

Myrtle Rhodes is obviously the sister of Sarah Rhodes. Wapello county marriage records also show that Myrtle Marie Rhodes married William H. LeMar on 5 Jul 1921. When I get to the Genealogical library I will be able to look up the Rhodes/Lemar marriage and determine who Myrtle's parents were.

If Henry Brockert worked for the railroad, he is likely to have moved about quite a bit. Which means his marriage could have taken place anywhere, however, it may have taken place somewhere in Missouri.

It appears that Sarah and Henry divorced between mid 1920 and 1930. I find it odd that the children are all living with Henry, In those days single fathers almost never got custody of minor children. I might guess 2 possibilites - neither of which are helpful.

Sarah abandoned the family in some fashion; or Sarah and Henry divorced, Sarah remarried, gave birth to your Faye Annabelle, then died - all between 1920 and 1930.
